if you had a 4.5 you'd want to humble brag too (although I don't like to talk about what I had to do for that A++)

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?

Well that's just embarrassing.

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.

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?

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.

Yeah I told you the same thing. But that doesn't mean I can't give you a little shit for it.

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.

[Blumpbeef]

What does high/low mean?

For OCI, you rank your firm preferences from 1-50 and then some lottery computer program assigns interviews based on the whole class' bids

Now who are all of these annoying people and why haven't we had any challenges in a while?

We still haven't done whatever drinking challenge it was that I suggested like a year ago. Oops?

I would like to note, I am in for whatever drinking challenges may arise, even though I am and irregular poster at best. But I can always get behind a solid night of drinking.

Moy.

Hmm, really? Why not just ask him what the cutoff for Coif is? Or ask when we'll find out?

I think an email should go out on Friday (the day degrees are conferred) about honors.

[fdsajkfhs]

if anyone has inside info on coif gpa cutoff, do tell.
