1L Fall Grade Waiting Thread Forum

[VTOrange19]

Got all of my grades in today, in rapid succession. 3.44 GPA for 1L. I am happy about my A's, but from snooping around looking for curves, 3.44 isn't that good compared to the curve. Am I just freaking out?

Depends on your median

Can't say without knowing what the curve is.

Not really good with the extrapolating, what-combos-would-be-higher-than-mine situations. But here is the curve.

A 4.0 A- 3.67 B+ 3.33 B 3.0

A, A- 15%
B+, B, B- 25%
C+, C, C- 45%
D+, D, F 15%

uh 3.44 puts you probably in the top 5% or higher depending on how many classes?

thats actually probably not correct no matter how many classes he/she took

[D'Angelo]

this curve looks like a 2.3 (C/C+) curve...3.44 is a B+/A- average...

That just looks like the grade distribution per class, but more info is needed about what the median gpa for the school is or some of the rank cut-offs. Try googling for it to see if you can find it for your school.

But that is a really harsh curve, so you're probably fairly highly ranked.

Perspective: At my school 2-8% gets C range grades, and no one has to get below that, and you'd still be top 18% here. So def within top 10%, probably higher.

wtf, if that's your curve, and you got a 3.44, then yes you are freaking out needlessly.

[goodolgil]

60% get a C+ or worse? Jesus.

Whoooops. Took someone's word for it but found it from the school. Here's the real deal:

A, A- 15%
B+, B, 25%
B-, C+ 35%
C, C- 15%
D+, D, D-, F 10%

This post was refreshingly incoherent.

First grade back today. B+ in Civ Pro. Not happy with it but it could have been worse I suppose. And the waiting continues.

I think it will be worse now that I have one grade. When I didn't have any I could just sit back, now it feels different for some reason.

[jeff5170]

Hitting the refresh button on our grades website has taken over my life. 3 grades reported, 1 to go. AHHH!

This is so true. I wish I hadn't looked when the first came in, but had waited for all of them. I can't focus on anything else right now...

Had a dream that I got two As and two Bs, but in my dream it equaled a 3.81 and top 10% of the class. At least my subconscious is unrealistically optimistic I suppose...

[crossarmant]

First substantive class grade in! Torts: A! No A+'s were given, only 5 A's out of 70 people... so I have a good feeling about the rest considering I felt the worst about that exam!

Wow, that is really great - congrats!!!

UGH. This whole grade checking thing is sickeningly reminiscent of the status checkers from the application cycle.

Except now I understand that this is actually far more important than getting accepted to one school versus another.
