Whoa! How does GULC make it to that list?

Please explain to me why this a "lack of integrity". Aren't schools free to evaluate their students as they see fit?ummm im pretty sure if you got into NYU or Gtown you would go regardless of this
I'm pretty sure I won't be applying to schools that lack integrity.

I agree that retroactive grade changing is fundamentally different from implementing an A+ curve. However, I also believe the A+ curve is a thinly veiled attempt to give students higher GPAs.sumus romani wrote:JazzOne wrote:I wish I could hate on this, but UT Law inflates grades by using a 4.3 scale.
Tons of schools are adding the A+ grade as a formal grade. It used to be optional at some schools (and teachers never gave them out), and now it is part of the curve for every class.
For what it is worth, the grouping together for moral assessment (1) retroactive grade changing with (2) changing the curve in the future, is a huge mistake. Curves have been going up for decades now at pretty much every law school, and other areas of study. Once upon a time, a C was average. But the retroactive grade changing is a new phenomenon and should be treated differently.

WTF?!? This is pathetic. Where's the integrity? I will no longer be applying to the law schools that do this.
It's an insult, and degrades the JD. I don't give a shit about your debts! Grow up you spineless bitches! You're supposed to be lawyers!
I appreciate the way that GULC does it. The A+ still only counts as a 4.0 on the transcript, and profs are only instructed to award it for truly outstanding performance- once every few years.Tons of schools are adding the A+ grade as a formal grade.
