Sad facts. #itswhatwedo

look, we have to make up for the fact that we'll never get an A somehow

No, I love the rigor

Can we have a poll asking if people out/underperformed their LSAT prediction? And then a similar poll asking about UGPA?

no

why not?

Yeah I think this would be interesting

Yes. I want to know exactly how average I am.

This 100%. Just put me out of my misery.

Prediction: All respodents wildly outperformed their LSAT prediction on TLS poll.

Can you explain this more?

(I recently read an interesting paper that said that the LSAT would be even more predictive if it didn't determine where people would be admitted, which I thought was an interesting point.)

Yeah, range restriction is huge.

As for an explanation, I'm just bummed about how my semester went and wanted to have company in misery.

[landshoes]

oh ok I just want to know how you would go about it

like, taking our LSAT or GPA comparison to school medians? and then comparing our grades to the median grades?

[landshoes]

I am sorry that you are disappointed

My understanding is that if you were say above the median LSAT then ended with median grades you would not have wildly outperformed your LSAT prediction you would not be wildly outperforming which I'm sure is a very common TLS outcome

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the q

Yeah, it would be relative to school 25ths/50ths/75ths.

[GreenEggs]

I think the poll is a funny idea, I don't get why some of y'all are so uptight about this stuff.

last year the 1L thread did a big poll
which resulted in this: http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 8&t=243104

That's a whole lot more detailed than I had expected it to be

I'm just assuming, based off of how lounge polls go, that not everyone was going to be 100% honest with their results. See: 1L thread last year where 33% of respondents are in top 10% of their class, and over half are in the top 25%. Is it impossible, no. Is it unlikely to be true? I mean...

That said, I'm up for the poll if everyone else is.

Yeah, sure, bring it. Bortles, don't forget how there's a strong self-selection as to both who finds themselves on here in the first place, and to who ends up still posting after a year--TLS is gunners' paradise, even if we all want to believe we are cool sociable gunners.

As to the question, while I'm above median after last semester, my LSAT relative to that of my class mates would've predicted me being much closer to PnJ-territory than I in fact am.
