Could be wrong, but I think OP is asking about where his GPA puts him amongst 1Ls, not in regards to law school applicants.LLB2JD wrote:http://officialguide.lsac.org/Release/S ... spx?sid=46let/them/eat/cake wrote:For median and anything else?

I'd like to know this as well
With a median of 3.3, where are the percentile cutoffs (at Duke or just "typically") for bottom third, top third, top quarter, top 10%, etc? They don't release class rank...

Only hoping someone had any sort of insight from past classes, i.e. honors rankings (although apparently those don't include 1L grades, which themselves are apparently subject to an at least somewhat different standard...),,,dresq wrote:Exactly.

There is a breakdown listed in the school policies. It is not a strict distribution, but I have heard of the reistrar sending grades back to professors for not following it.
Also, honors: http://www.law.duke.edu/about/community ... ml#rule2-7
