Waiting for 1L grades...so much worse than waiting for LSATs Forum

[king3780]

Got my last grade... A!!!!

Good for a 3.88 GPA. On a 3.0 curve... I have to have a shot at being #1 right?

For sure this must mean top 10 % I would think...

Farewell to Richmond.

quiet or Im gonna smack you. Your bubbliness is irritating the oozing sore that is my complete lack of grades.

Congrats on the good grades, but +1.

But seriously, I'm sure this means top 10% for you.

My school's curved on a 3.2 and 3.75 is top 5%, so...

You still need to know the standard deviation to know for sure.

I concede this point, I am just providing anecdotal evidence for no reason in particular...

My school is curved around an 85, so a 3.something would be like...bottom 0.0000001%

I'll still be in this thread sweating for all you guys too. I appreciate the support and apologize for any douchey posts.

If it helps, there was a 5-way tie (class of 160 or so) for #1 at the end of the entire year last year at a 3.91. That has me a little nervous. I feel like that's an anomaly, though.

[mallard]

You can pretty safely say you're in the top 5% if that's the case, though. Like very safely.

GULC one time?

Are your plans to transfer? If you're at a T1, you can do better than that I assure you...

mid tier 2... and im just talking EA

Maybe he has the hots for GULC.

[apper123]

I just like the allure of GULC EA because it feels like grade insurance to me, assuming I get in. So if I screw up 2nd semester or get Swine flu on test day, I have a solid back up plan, assuming I don't really see a huge drop.

With his grades, that's like a professional athlete having the hots for Drew Barrymore or something...

I predict you can probably get into Columbia/NYU/Chi if you continue those kind of grades...

Chi ED might be something to look into.

you UVA folk need to keep in mind I attend a lowly T2

(im also in class and probably should be paying attention and im not giving my full attention here)

[apper123]

or maybe im just playing along

[Cavalier]

Oh, I didn't know that. In that case, brag away! Are you looking to transfer?

Yeah. Probably shipping an app off to GULC EA. Any thoughts on my odds there? (or should I take this to another thread?)

Also, a LOT of people from my school transfer to UVA. Hint: we're nearly neighbors. Obviously that's contingent on my second semester grades, and I am not just banking on good grades again. Maybe I just got lucky???

I don't know much about transfer chances, but I assume that with those grades, you'll be in an excellent position. If you need references from professors, obviously you should work on getting those.

I don't think anyone who does great in all of their classes merely "got lucky." If you did that well, you clearly know what you're doing.
