Question about rank/curve Forum

[hrvd214]

I posted this in the transfer forum but figured i might get more views over here.

Our class rank has yet to be released so i was hoping that those of you who have had your rank released might be able to help me. I know that rank depends on grade distribution I am just trying to get a general idea
The school is on a 3.0 curve
What GPA roughly corresponds to what rank. Is it pretty close to this?
3.6=top 10
3.5=top 15
3.4=top 20
3.0-3.1= median

we need another data point. like another cut-off (e.g., what is the cutoff for top 10%, or 30% . . . ). Calling sealocust.

You need more data points to know for sure.

I have no data points. I was just curious based on other peoples classes, that were also on a 3.0 curve. Those data points were complete guesses.

call up your registrar and ask them for one.

Well identified. He is the best, but he won't come in here unless someone says the word math. I have now summoned him properly for the OP, if OP can find another data point.

OP what is the Order of the Coif cut off for you school?

You think the "CURVE" is a straight line?

My law school's page on the NALP directory of law schools provides their cutoffs for various class rank designations. The website is http://www.nalplawschoolsonline.org/
