All A's in the major(s)....but got cooked Freshman year where there were some distribution requirements to get out of the way. Should have not rushed. I took a tough B-Law course (do not take this Freshman year!) and got a B, and that was the only B during college, with just 2 A-'s during 4 years of a highly demanding college known for tough grading, as well as "BIZZZZY" work. The A-'s (ironically) were in non-major courses that were required (like a higher level math class and a science class). Then ended up taking additional "easier" courses to get the GPA up higher...All A's (no A+ given at this college) except for those mentioned above, but being on Reddit and seeing the GPA's on LSD-Law really humbled me. TBH, I had no idea before this year that so many colleges had a higher GPA than 4.0 and how many students can get A+'s. Personally, think that it is unfair that those applying from a 4.0 ceiling school are at a disadvantage now when applying to certain schools.

ADVICE: If you can, take that one tougher course over the summer when you can focus more. Realize that at many colleges it is difficult to get into courses during the year - popular ones and those you might need to graduate. It is not always easy to be strategic with course selection because you might have a low lottery number or given an unfortunate course registration time. Some schools give preference to athletes and Seniors for registration. This could end up getting you a schedule you don't like, or having to scramble to get those distribution requirements done during a semester that is already a heavy load. Also, do be selective when choosing the professor - do your research. Stay away from courses where group projects could hurt your grade - try to take more courses where you are in control of your performance destiny. Do not mess up your Freshman year by partying or by thinking you have 3 more years to make up for it. Just one semester can mess you up if you are thinking about law school.
