You goobers realize half the class is at or below median right.

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

Are you going to try really hard?

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?

Do you highlight your books with 7 different colors?

Doesn't seem very credible...

Of course. I supplement this strategy by underlining in pencil when something is especially important.

Do you love the law more than your peers.

More than myself. I would die for the law.

Then you shall be in the top 10% of the non top 10%.

I am going to lawl school because I am bad at math. Based off your recently provided formula I should expect to graduate number one in my class?

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.

Top 10% of the remainder not in the top 10% --> Top 10% of the bottom 90% --> Between the overall top 10% and top 19% lol

whoosh

I ALWAYS look to mode in figuring out where I'm going in life it's the most underappreciated one of the three

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?

..

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.

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

Except, in 1L classes at least, grades are curved to an average, not a median, for obvious reasons.
