Poll: Lowest class rank with which you'd be satisfied?

I understand median at T14 is better than median at #45, but there isn't an easy way to break this up into multiple polls.

What class rank would you need to grade-on to law review?

I need of top 1/3rd option - or maybe even breaking it down further. The longer I wait for grades, the lower it goes . . .

Top 50% keeps my scholarship, but I would not be satisfied with that ranking. Top 1/4 would leave me feeling pretty good as long as I am able to write on to LR.

Top 15% (really ~20%) - I want to keep my options open. Landing in the top 25-33% might force me to play the patent card to get my foot in the door for Big Law.

Indiana is 3.2 which is a little bit below our median

I heard they weren't even enforcing the scholarship cutoffs this year at IU. Next year, in fact, they have eliminated the requirement entirely.

I want to grade-on to a journal which seems to range from top 5-15% of the class depending on the school.

hmm i have no idea, that would be nice to know. a lot of people would be losing scholly's if they did, since it seems like most people have one.

Oregon's just requires good academic standing, which is a 2.0.

There is something fucked about a test where you can say 'I got a C or an A'

I second the top 10% choice. I voted top 5%. Of course, this doesn't mean I think I'll get it, but I will be disappointed if not.

I don't care about class rank, but I'd like to be involved in law review and moot court.
