Missed top 33% by a hair? (Rising 2L)

I'm in the top 40% at a T25. I'm bitter after discovering I missed an A minus in one course by a single point (non-traditional class, not Property, Torts, etc.). This point would have meant boosting me into the top 33%. Any advice on not feeling so bitter about this? I don't want biglaw but I do hope to work at a smaller firm the second summer.

I had similar stats at a similar school after 1L. My school doesn't post rank outside of top third. I knew based on classmates' GPAs that I was just outside of top third and would simply let firms know that if asked about rank. Be honest and positive; your GPA is what it is. Mass mail your brains out and practice your interview skills. Gl.
