"I know you're paying $55,000 a year for our services, but here is a word document to hand fill out to check your progress toward graduation. We'll let you know after add/drop if you've fucked up your ability to graduate"

Does a 3-draft journal paper and a 2-draft seminar fill the writing requirement? what is the 1-draft option for?

[Cobretti]

I'm assuming unofficial transcripts are OK to send to employers at this stage right?

Far as I know, unofficial acceptable at any stage......any employer neurotic enough to suspect can always ask for the official transcript later, when making an offer. Also, rather than using the one you print out online, it might be advisable to make a PDF of the one obtained from the registrar's office (it's fewer pages and more compact for better presentation).

The registrar transcript is the official one, right? So I'd still have to order a copy for myself?

Grades are available at sundown on Friday. Is this the fucking movie Shane or something?

Now, I'm not so sure anymore..... following a friend's suggestion, I just went to the registrar, paid a few bucks, and used what they gave me, which I then scanned and imported to MS Word to fix up a bit of formatting. So I guess it was official......was last June, but seems like such a long time ago, sorry.

The one you got from the registrar was official, but if you scanned it it's just an unofficial copy.

Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable giving anyone an edited transcript, even if it's just formatting. I use either a copy of the real one or the web printout as-is.

You should be praying for median bro. You are just as likely to be below it than above it.

Oh don't worry. I'm basically praying for an asteroid to strike the earth and usher in the next ice age. I figure anything better than that = winning.

Wonder if the person who had the bold idea to release grades on a Friday is getting a raise? Only took them a few years to figure that one out.

I felt like Thursday made sense.

Wasn't it right after the mandatory Lawyer as Problem Solver bullshit?

My fall 1L grades were released while I was in class lol.

That's the point. It takes your mind off of it, then you go to bar review.

Surprised they didn't push grades release back until after add/drop. Add/drop was supposed to originally end Friday. I guess now people can drop out right?

Yes. One draft is for people who don't do a journal.

So if past years are any indication there is a real chance that some grades get released today?

Doubtful. Last semester Kadens has a clerkship meeting with 3Ls and said grades would be out the 17th.

But if you'd like to go through the 1L rite of passage of checking Caesar every 15 minutes, sure they could drop today...

I agree with Flips. Also remember that, like the school, our admin is composed of a bunch of slacker/splitter-esque types who will invariably wait until the very last second to do anything.

Go to bar review and get RIDICULOUSLY drunk and don't think about it. (:

We are in the process of reviewing grades and preparing them for posting. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Fall semester grades will be released at the end of the day (but before sundown) on Friday, January 17. We will send an e-mail to the community when all grades have been posted (and please remember that they are released by class so the entire process takes time!).

Do reverse splitters count?

Looks like 1L Spring OCI interviews for the half-dozen firms are out. Anyone snag one? Or are the GPA-dependent ones still TBD?
