Re: Northwestern 1Ls are worse than Hitler
Does anyone know if notifications were sent out regarding Coif? Indirectly, I learned today that the top 10% for this year's class exceeds a 3.84 (in other words, you've gotta be higher than a 3.84 to be in the top 10%, I just don't know how much higher).

I haven't heard anything: is your source based on a general feeling of hey "I know a lot of people with 4.0s" or is it someone in the administration?

Re: Northwestern 1Ls are worse than Hitler
I prefer to say that NU uses the whole 3.0-4.0 range. Our median is the same as UVA, NYU, etc. It's just that the top of the class is like 3.7 at UVA and like 3.9 at NU.Bildungsroman wrote:Wow.

Worse than Hitler? Really? That seems a bit harsh.

Can you translate NU's alien 4.0 system into something more sensible, like a 155-186 scale?bjsesq wrote:We lack that RIGOR.Bildungsroman wrote:Wow.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
Yes, I was. But after discussing my career goals of DOJ/USAO with Dave, Cindy, and Susie, they've all said the clearest path there is through clerking and time at a firm. I'll still be applying for all the government honors programs, but I'll also be doing OCI.IAFG wrote:Weren't you all-in on PI?Flips88 wrote:So...any tips on bidding strategy for Chicago and D.C.?

The only advice I have is that bidding DC high seemed like a waste of bids. It was pretty easy to get DC on lower bids. Same is not true of Chicago.

For OCI, you rank your firm preferences from 1-50 and then some lottery computer program assigns interviews based on the whole class' bidsBlumpbeef wrote:What does high/low mean?

Hmm, really? Why not just ask him what the cutoff for Coif is? Or ask when we'll find out?chadwick218 wrote:Moy.attractive_NUisance wrote:I haven't heard anything: is your source based on a general feeling of hey "I know a lot of people with 4.0s" or is it someone in the administration?
I think an email should go out on Friday (the day degrees are conferred) about honors.
