Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Likely June 10, based on when grades were released two years ago. Registrar told me 3L grades are out June 5, so a few days later would make sense for 1L grades.Lacepiece23 wrote:anyone know when grades generally come out for 1L's spring semester. Haven't checked at all yet, but just curious.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
June 5 is a wednesday, that'd be random. The equivalent to last year would be 5/31, but I'm inclined to think the new registrar will hold them later.Lincoln wrote:Likely June 10, based on when grades were released two years ago.

Supposedly the fall recruitment process starts on the 5th for us, so maybe the monday before, which would be the 3rd?Lacepiece23 wrote:anyone know when grades generally come out for 1L's spring semester. Haven't checked at all yet, but just curious.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
That'd be what they said it was going to be last year. In point of fact, 1L grades came on Friday the 1st, and the firm list/ gpa ranges went live that Sunday. So if they said the process starts on the 5th it's possible grades will be the 3rd.northerrn wrote:Supposedly the fall recruitment process starts on the 5th for us, so maybe the monday before, which would be the 3rd?Lacepiece23 wrote:anyone know when grades generally come out for 1L's spring semester.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
That makes sense, then. I just guessed June 10 because two years ago it was June 6, and the registrar specifically told me 3L grades would be available June 5 (which I agree is a weird date). Because the last 1L exam was taken after the last 3L exam, I just assumed 1L grades would come out the Monday after 3L grades, not before. Either way, I don't think it'll be the Friday; the new registrar has been a bit slower than Nan Colvin.Arbiter213 wrote:That'd be what they said it was going to be last year.

But last year the LR calls went out on 7/11, ILJ & JLPP the next day.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Based on 3L grades that came out today, grade inflation is rampant. Enjoy it, 1Ls.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Inaccurate. It's bimodal- the people at the top keep trying hard to maintain rank (and max out on ungraded credits), while anyone outside stops caring entirely, thereby softening the curve at the top. You get a concentration around two peaks instead of a normal distribution as you'd expect.Lincoln wrote:Based on 3L grades that came out today, grade inflation is rampant. Enjoy it, 1Ls.
It's bizarre as shit.

Well, the bimodal thing may be true. I can't say I'm well-informed enough to know. However:Arbiter213 wrote:Inaccurate.

For the graduating Class of 2013, the gpa cut off for magna cum laude was 3.80 and for cum laude was 3.62.
Now compare this to last year:5% - 3.84 10% - 3.80
So the top 10% cut-off has gone from a 3.7 to a 3.81 between the graduating classes of 2012 and 2013. The top 5% has gone from 3.84 in my year to 3.89 in your year. Both of those figures are likely to be higher for your year once you graduate. If that's not grade inflation, I don't know what is.For the graduating Class of 2012, the gpa cut off for magna cum laude was 3.70 and for cum laude was 3.53.[/quote
Plus, last semester,
Class of 2014 [three semesters]:
5% - 3.89 10% - 3.81
