Talk:List of law school GPA curves

message: Unranked doesn't mean you don't grade on a curve, however. Boalt, for instance, has a pretty harsh curve -- they give 10% "HH" (high honors), 30% "H" (honors), and the balance are "P" (pass) or not pass. But they don't compute individual rankings for students; just 10% rankings and the top position in the class. And there's no "GPA" per se. --lquilter 15:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The source for Georgetown is incorrect; neither the median noe the average GPA are reflected in the Excel spreadsheet. The recommended breakdown is regularly manipulated by professors and the sheet applies only to large classes with final exams. A good number of classes have final papers or are smaller than 25. Furthermore, many professors change the recommended breakdown. I'm a current student and while some of my exam classes were close to the recommended settings, most of the professors tweaked the numbers to both raise the average score and add C's, D's and, in one case, an F.
I am not sure whether the true average GPA is higher or lower at Georgetown Law; I just know that an old Excel spreadsheet (for a professor who no longer teaches at Georgetown) is not a good source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. GOH! (talk • contribs) 08:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Duquesne Law implemented a recomended distribution this past academic year.  According to the law school's academic bulletin, p.34, for first-year classes and upper-level classes of 15 or more students, there should be a distribution of: 20-25% receiving A+, A, or A-; 50-60% receiving B+, B, or B-; and 20-25% receiving C+, C, C-, D+, D, or F.  Can anyone work this neatly into the chart?  Since it's not a simple number, like the other schools listed, I'm not sure the best way to do it.--Msl5046 (talk) 14:43, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I curved in college (not law school) for 25 years, and I have no idea how to interpret the numbers in this table. The article says The process generally works within each class and then The following list shows where law schools set the 50% mark. Then the list shows a GPA Curve for each school, with entries like 2.50–2.79(1L)and 2.78. Does e.g. 2.78 mean that within each class, 50% of the students get a score of 2.78 or lower? This would only be meaningful if the classes are graded on a numerical (not letter-grade) scale of 0.0 to 4.0 -- is that what is meant? And what does e.g. 1L mean?
