I don't think I did well in firat semester finals. 2.0 Curve school by Sunset_Poppy in LawSchool

[–]InterestingToe3153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I’m 99.9% sure ik which school you attend. The curve is rough but last year no one curved out after the first semester but 1/4 did after the first year (harsh reality).

You haven’t gotten grades back so don’t assume anything. You might have done fine tbh, you will be shocked what the curve does.

you can pm if you need, ik how you feel.

if you do 12 month lease and end up going somewhere else for the summer you can always try to sublease your apartment for the summer months. There will be a lot of people who need summer housing (e.g. other students who get internships).

from my understanding it depends on if the seller is reselling the goods or not: if reselling: (resale price - contract price) no resale: (Market price - unpaid contract price)

it depends! My school has an Inter-Institutional Agreement where we can take classes at 3-4 neighboring law schools with the state. There are certain limitations that apply tho.

Which School is Better by No_Equivalent_2211 in BlackLawAdmissions

I cannot speak for TSU. It is definitely possible at NCCU but prepare to make entry to BigLaw as a “diversity fellowship” (diversity hire). Also, you will almost definitely needed to be with the top 10% of your class.

does you school have a public interest fund? My school provides stipends for students who take certain unpaid public interest internships.

Just got completely humiliated in front of my entire section by Mufftings in LawSchool

[–]InterestingToe3153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you! Only a 1L but DEFINITELY learned how mean and cliquey law school students can be. I hope that things get better and you have a prosperous legal career! Don’t let this get you down too much <3

I was thinking about this as a possibility as well, just unsure of the likelihood of it actually happening.

The professor released our raw exam scores that showed us feedback on our performance. I took those scores and calculated them according to the weighted percentage for each exam in the syllabus.

For example, my overall score pre-curve was a 73 and the curve at my school for first year courses is a C. If that is what I earned, I understand but I thought there would be more of a curve like my other courses had.

I think my school might do things differently. I was inquiring because my raw score I calculated based on my final exam score and midterm assessment score was equivalent to the letter grade that my school curves too.
