Except, in 1L classes at least, grades are curved to an average, not a median, for obvious reasons.
Eh?

I thought it we were graded to a median, not mean unless I'm crazy -- at NU

You cared about "mode"? That always seemed like the least useful of the three to me.
The only mode I ever cared about was a la.

Suicide. If went to a school where median pwns you, you fucked up. If you didn't, but still fucked up, killself.
