Meanest Fish - The Feel Good Story of 1L
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 2nd, 2005 3:24 PM Author: Maize Sticky Set 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: Maize Sticky Set 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 9:20 PM Author: razzle garrison You know it's nowhere near that. And 45% is still less than half, idiot. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=191980&forum_id=2#2989133) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2005 9:27 PM Author: Maize Sticky Set 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: razzle garrison 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: Maize Sticky Set 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: razzle garrison While B+ is the median grade, it's also the 35th percentile grade. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=191980&forum_id=2#2988836) |

Date: June 1st, 2007 12:52 AM Author: Histrionic church preventive strike Sweetie-pie, getting dinged at numerous callbacks and not getting a job until nearly Thanksgiving IS failure.

|
Date: June 1st, 2007 1:01 AM Author: purple spectacular base quadroon 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.
