Well apparently Chapman's curve is 2.8 median. Someone else will have to fill you in on where that puts you wrt class rank

Yea dont have that information as of yet. Wanted top 10% so I can lose the loans for next year. Well, maybe I'll get a 3.8 Spring semester

At other school where seminars and such can give out As like candy, threshold GPAs can jump a substantial amount by graduation.

duly noted, good call

Or perhaps I'm rude for assuming you'd be lol-ing at the particular law school...Hmm. That might be ruder.
