General Board / Anyone taken antitrust?« on: July 29, 2009, 12:09:32 AM »
Is it hard? Something I should avoid during the first semester at a new law school or would it be okay? All of the good core classes like evidence, business orgs, etc. are full at this point and I'm just trying to find something mildly useful but not super hard to take.

General Board / Less is More?« on: June 02, 2009, 11:17:56 AM »
Last semester I did pretty well (somewhere in the top 1/3) but I studied excessively, maybe 70+ hours a week, every week. I felt burned out by the time finals were around and then afterward I felt cheated that 90% of what I knew wasn't even on the exams. I then decided on a new strategy--just keep my mind completely fresh. I didn't read cases the entire way through, just got what I needed from listening to class, and looked over old outlines so I knew where we were at. About three weeks before exams I did my own outlines and it made me sort of nervous because it felt like I was teaching myself all of the material for the first time. The result was that I felt really brimming with intellectual energy right when exams rolled around and not burned out at all.
I got my grades back the other day and aced every single class. Furthermore, I got the top grade in 3 of 4 classes. Less really is more--I deserved these grades last semester when I busted my ass but got them this semester when I probably averaged 5 hours a week of study until the last few weeks. I know a few other people on this board were taking this approach. How did it turn out for you? 3
General Board / Super Narrow Curves...« on: January 23, 2009, 11:56:52 AM »
The breakdown at my school is:
Top 50% = 3.2 Top 30% = 3.4 Top 20% = 3.5 Top 10% = 3.6 Anyone else have a curve this narrow or narrower? I just think it is strange that the difference between top half and top 10% is only a little more than a third of a grade.
