What does a 4.0 mean? Can you put that on a standard 155 - 186 scale?

Horse shit. That's blatant anti-OU Law trolling.Bildungsroman wrote:I'm pretty sure every truly elite school uses the 155 - 186 scale.Philosopher King wrote:What!?

OU Law wrote:The grades given in the College of Law and the numerical grade point value are as follows: A+ = 12, A = 11, A- = 10, B+ = 9, B = 8, B- = 7, C+ = 6, C = 5, C- = 4, D+ = 3, D = 2, D- = 1, F = 0. The grades of Incomplete (I), Withdrawal Passing (W), Satisfactory (S) and Unsatisfactory (U) have no numerical value and are not included in the calculation of a student’s grade point average. Certain courses are graded on a Satisfactory (S)/Unsatisfactory (U) basis. Students do not have the option of choosing to be graded S/U.

Define reasonably possible.
Also relevant is how stupid everyone around you might be.

No. I'm sure Philosopher King will be pleased to report that since law school classes require an entire semester's worth of continuous and steady work rather than simply a single one-off crapshoot, law school classes are therefore a true and complete test of your abilities.Mal Reynolds wrote:Will you sue your school if it's not possible?
