I have always suspected this board is full of overachievers. This would be proof. Not interested in what school you go to, just what you do when you get there.

You mean as a total guess without any exam results? Wow, thats a tough one to estimate, and I'd guess most 1L's are still in shock mode from how smart their classmates all seem.

call me crazy, but i think there are a few people here who aren't 1Ls. if we can believe the poll, 32 of them voted here. and less than 10% of them are median or lower at their respective schools.

Funny, because I've always suspected its full of liars who will all claim to be top 1% of anything they do.

How do people even know this shit? We have 10%, 33%, and beyond that, you're just bullshitting.

I made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. That's gotta count for something, right?

Parsecs are a unit of distance, not time. I know it was fairly low-budget, but come on Georgie. A little realism, please.

if you can figure out the standard deviation, you can estimate what rank any gpa is. course, your estimate might not be the most accurate, but it's not like everyone else's is either.

I do like the star wars universe, i've even read a good amount of the EU novels, but I'm more of a Trekkie. As cool as star wars is, George (you're breaking my heart annie) Lucas is a terrible writer and did not craft a Sci-Fi, he made a Science Fantasy series because very little about his universe is even remotely grounded in what could come into existence.
