General Board / Re: curves? i dont get it.

In the situation you described I would rather have the 3.3. And my resume would either read "GPA 3.3/4.0 (Top 10%)" or simply read "Top 10% of Class".

by your logic GPAs were pointless in undergrad too. every school has a curve, whether its intentional or not. some school's grades are inflated. some are very tough.
that fact that this is a new revelation leads me to believe ignorantly blissful in your ugpa. maybe now you can look back on it and realize how worthless it was. i bet you were a hi gpa / low lsat splitter who bitched and moaned about not getting recongiiton for your 'effort'. welcome to life. 13

Is there a place to find out more info about the fitness review? I want to know if I should be worrying about anything in my past.

Black Law Student Discussion Board / Re: How many years did it take you to finish your undergraduate degree?« on: March 26, 2006, 02:58:28 AM »I will finally graduate next spring, 8 years after I began working on my degree. I took a ton of breaks, and the longest I have gone straight through is 4 semesters. so you showed up every now and then, and when things were going well you stuck with it. but when they weren't you bitched and moaned to a shrink, got her to support your medical withdrawals, and never took a hit to your gpa. kudos. i hope you find a lovely firm that gives you a week of vacation for every week of work. or if you're interested in government work, a judge that will give you a continuance because you're not really "feeling up to it" |
