1L grade waiting thread Forum

Really wishing LRW WERE graded here...got High Honors, which would have been an A, which would have seriously boosted my gpa. (but about the HH)

I really wish ours were not graded. haha

Non-graded LRW >>>>> Graded LRW

You really have no idea how much graded LRW sucks

Yeah, graded LWR ruined me. I literally met with my prof every week for a month to go over edits for my appellate brief and in the end I got the same grade I have been getting the entire year with the only comments being "You could be more detailed".

How do you know if you've CALI'd a course or not?

Do they e-mail you or can you see it when you check your grade?

I had to ask Records and they told me. If the professor gives out A+'s that could be another clue.

I'm beginning to regret the fact that I didn't get the + in the course I CALI'd. That extra 0.3 on the GPA would have made a B sting a lot less.

WTF is CALI'd?

Ha good to know. I've always wondered what people meant when they said they CALI'd. I mean, I figured it had to mean something good lol.

I worked harder on trial brief than any other LRW all yr. Got a shit grade. Worked less hard on appellate brief. Must have done really well because I got a not shitty final grade. Graded LRW is stupid.

IN to add to the LRW confusion:

I got less than an A- on my first semester memo. The only meaningful comment on the memo said: "continue to analogize and distinguish your case from the case law."

So, the second semester I analogized and distinguished the shit out of my case from the case law. The only comment on my memo was: "Jack Duluoz, good work."
---and i got the same exact grade. WTF?

B+ in LWR is pretty good.

Eh, i'm at a T2. A- would have been great for the gpa.

using pass/fail legal writing as a significant component in school selection is not a bad strategy.

+1 i got really lucky with this b/c i def did not research or plan about this, but thank god it turned out that way. i feel sorry for anyone who had graded lrw, sounds like a nightmare.

[plum]

WTF is CALI'd?

so the only TTT14s that do this are GULC/Cornell, figures.

[weee]

I'll just go with my relative scaling again

Crim > Con > Civ Pro >= LRW

Well, wrong already, Crim = Civ Pro

I'm pretty certain that LRW is going to be my worst grade of 1L at this point.

Grade nightmare last night . And here I thought I had avoided that this semester.

[forty-two]

Last grade is in. I doubt I'll be able to transfer, but my GPA didn't fall as much as I had feared. Good luck to everyone still waiting!!!

[SmittenMitten]

I don't know what to do. My GPA plummeted, but I have a good summer job, and last semester I had something bad happen 6 weeks before finals that undoubtedly affected me. First semester grades were good. Do I stay put?

School range and class rank? Also, one semesters worth of good grades is one semester more than over 50% of your class.

Northwestern doesn't even give out book awards like some others in the T13 do (save for one award for the best in you legal writing section, which el-oh-el)

There were big, big issues this semester personally. That is really no excuse, because plenty of people probably work past these things, but 6 weeks before finals started, my family pretty much imploded and I was basically homeless. So. It was sort of difficult to outline. Obviously these aren't things employers care about-they just care about the numbers.

So you finished at median on the year then, or was it just a semester at median?

I'm sorry, median for the year.
