But half the class is above median. And I read GTM so it won't happen to me.

DF, I already sleep with GTM under my pillow every night, and therefore I know I will be top ~10%. Let's assume that this brilliant plan somehow doesn't work. What then is the DF approved method to avoid being median pwned?

Of course. I supplement this strategy by underlining in pencil when something is especially important.Desert Fox wrote:Do you highlight your books with 7 different colors?Trig wrote:DF, I already sleep with GTM under my pillow every night, and therefore I know I will be top ~10%.

Re: TLS worst case scenario = median pwnd
I feel like from the time I ever first learned about "median" "mean" "mode" in like third grade, median was the one I didn't give a shit about and even through undergrad it was always what's the average this/average that etc. in law school every fucking thing is about medians lol

You cared about "mode"? That always seemed like the least useful of the three to me.zugzwanger wrote:I feel like from the time I ever first learned about "median" "mean" "mode" in like third grade, median was the one I didn't give a shit about and even through undergrad it was always what's the average this/average that etc. in law school every fucking thing is about medians lol

I ALWAYS look to mode in figuring out where I'm going in life it's the most underappreciated one of the threeScottRiqui wrote:You cared about "mode"?

Re: TLS worst case scenario = median pwnd
Srs question: is being bottom of the class at schools past HYS, say like 20th percentile, any worse than being just below median like at the 45th percentile? Does anyone really give a crap if you're closer to median but still below?

Re: TLS worst case scenario = median pwnd
Yeah, makes sense since there's less differentiation. Looking for schools lower than HYS without the H/P/L stuff. At Yale especially with its small class, I imagine you could be dead last and still get a great gig somewhere. Not sure how far they even bother to rank.

Re: TLS worst case scenario = median pwnd
And yet people below median apparently have good outcomes since so many people from t14 have good outcomes
But yeah just do drop out from CCN below median

Re: TLS worst case scenario = median pwnd
Except, in 1L classes at least, grades are curved to an average, not a median, for obvious reasons.zugzwanger wrote:I feel like from the time I ever first learned about "median" "mean" "mode" in like third grade, median was the one I didn't give a shit about and even through undergrad it was always what's the average this/average that etc. in law school every fucking thing is about medians lol
