Meanest Fish - The Feel Good Story of 1L
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 2nd, 2005 3:24 PM Author: buff bateful jew kitchen Yep, the turnaround story of the year. Went from shitty, piss-poor 1st semester grades to a 3.6. From bottom 25% to soundly beating the curve. My cumulative is just over 3.3. I am so fucking psyched!
So take that RWA and everyone else who said I'd fail miserably.
Oh, and thanks people who said I'd turn it around. |

Date: June 2nd, 2005 3:31 PM Author: buff bateful jew kitchen Proactive measures.
- Was more active in class instead of just passively trying to take it in.
- Didn't outline. This may not be a good idea for many, but for me outlining wasted a ton of time and yielded little benefit.
- Talked to the prof before exams.
- Yeah, experience really helped me understand what is going on. 1st semester I was lost. Here I knew what to focus on.
- Improved my research and writing skills. One of my As was legal research and writing.
Note, that I'm still not anywhere near perfect. I got one B where I was sure I'd do better. Plus, I had classes where I was just better. 2/3 As were in elective classes with 2Ls and 3Ls there, and classes I simply knew a lot about coming in. |

|

|
Date: June 11th, 2005 8:48 PM Author: buff bateful jew kitchen How is that possible given that the curve forces classes to assign a minimum of 30% of the class Bs and B-s?

|
Date: June 11th, 2005 9:07 PM Author: Primrose Painfully Honest Foreskin Parlour Yes. And imagine a section took two different classes - say, contracts and torts.

|
Date: June 11th, 2005 9:16 PM Author: Primrose Painfully Honest Foreskin Parlour You have a 3.3. ~67% of every class gets a 3.33 or higher. You are bottom half. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=191980&forum_id=2#2989079) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2005 9:17 PM Author: buff bateful jew kitchen 45% minimum has a B+ or lower as well. The B+ is a broad grade. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=191980&forum_id=2#2989098) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2005 9:20 PM Author: Primrose Painfully Honest Foreskin Parlour You know it's nowhere near that. And 45% is still less than half, idiot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=191980&forum_id=2#2989133) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2005 9:27 PM Author: buff bateful jew kitchen Right, but if you add the maximums of A+, As and A-s you still won't get 100%, you'll get 82%. Meaning that another 18% would need to get B+s or below to balance it. So no, that actually wouldn't work.
Regardless, since you want to win this so much I'll just let you. You're right. I'm below 50th percentile. I don't really care, given that I'll likely make a secondary journal and get a 2L firm job. And that's all that matters to me at this point. |
|
Date: June 11th, 2005 8:38 PM Author: Primrose Painfully Honest Foreskin Parlour Most likely 2/3 of every class gets a B+ or higher (3.33). I'd say you're in the bottom half. |
|
Date: June 11th, 2005 8:46 PM Author: buff bateful jew kitchen B+ is the median grade. Hence median is about 3.33, fair enough. So I'm barely under 50th percentile if you want to split hairs. How this matters I really don't know. I'm only 1/3 of the way through. The 2 classes this summer should push be above the median.
Here's what does matter - I've figured out how to play the LS game. I'll likely get a 2L firm job. I'll likely get on a secondary journal. Given how I started I'm very happy. |
|
Date: June 11th, 2005 8:48 PM Author: Primrose Painfully Honest Foreskin Parlour While B+ is the median grade, it's also the 35th percentile grade. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=191980&forum_id=2#2988836) |

An absolutely fucking brutal bump.
And for the record, I'm going to go ahead and help myself to your "turnaround story of the year" trophey.
Unbeknowest to me, my 1st semester grades would never in a million years have gotten me a job and, only by blind providence, my 2nd semester GPA came through and insured me employment.
Praise be to allah. |

|
Date: June 1st, 2007 1:01 AM Author: Burgundy heady idiot elastic band It wasn't the only job available, I had more callbacks available to me. I just really liked the firm, canceled/rejected the other callbacks, and stuck with the firm where I had an offer. Ironically, the best firms actually gave me call backs late in the game. The earlier callback firms were pretty mediocre (again, poor bidding results during OCI). I also didn't interview in 3L because I liked my 2L firm.
That's not what failure is. Failure is not getting a decent job. Period. But feel free to keep telling yourself that your shit smells sweeter than mine.
