i know this is a shitty thing to bitch about, but if i'd got A+'s instead of A's in the two classes i booked, i'd almost certainly be #1 in my class. fuck.

**** You

Haha congrats bro. I'm kind of pissed that they didn't give A+ for Prop too. I'm glad they finally put up the rest of the awards though!

What does "booked" mean?

award for best exam in a class. a lot of schools call them CALI awards. not sure what the etymology of "booked" is.

A friend told me that professors used to give the top student a new copy of the casebook with something written inside of it. Not sure if that's true, but would explain "booking."

Congrats on booking two classes. I only booked one

+1.

However, admitting to books awards one can infer that the person probably does not go to a very elite school (I only think S does book awards in the T13?). So, being number one versus like number five in the class at a TTT or TTTT could make a huge difference for transferring, so I can kind of understand where he could be coming from.

He goes to a great school.

LOL. In that case I have no sympathy for his fifth in the class or whatever versus first in the class whining.

Which?

He can answer that if he wants. Anyways, many other things worth talking about.

HLS gives "book prizes" but doesn't call them that. Although there is usually a couple per class I think, not sure if other schools limit it to the top person in that class.

A DS? Not a book prize. Can't they give out like 5 percent?My reference was specifically to schools who call the top honor a "book price." At Duke, at most five percent of the class can receive an A+ (4.1-4.3). However, the professor does not need to give out any A+s and the person who receives the highest grade in the class doesn't receive a "book prize," their accomplishment is simply recognized by the professor through either an e-mail or a phone call.
