I'm going to stress about finals and exams. May as well do it with other 1Ls who are equally neurotic and anxious as I am.cavalier1138 wrote:I can already tell this is going to be great for the mental health of all the 1Ls.
Nice! Graded LRW sux but sounds like you killed it. Nobody in our class (we know because the prof told us) got above an A on ANY assignment. Yet obviously someone will get an A in the class. Weirdfloatie wrote:I've gotten one grade back - got an A in LRW, woo!
Now I'm looking forward to getting my hopes and dreams crushed in my other four classes...

eh he's a good guy and i could've been more careful but yeah it was annoying. I didn't see it until halfway through the second hypo and had to go back because it was worth way more than what the question I didn't quite finish wasfloatie wrote:OK that's just a dick move on your professor's part.blair.waldorf wrote: due to missing a question on the first hypo (it was one sentence on a separate page) like a moron.
I wouldn't stress about it. I misread the word count on my contracts exam (thought it was 1500 when it was really 1200) and I had to scramble to cut out 300 words, which definitely cut into my multiple choice time :/blair.waldorf wrote: eh he's a good guy and i could've been more careful but yeah it was annoying.

Hi - this forum is for discussion by law students only, and this question has nothing to do with the topic of the thread, so please just keep the discussion in the thread you created on the topic.LawShopeful wrote:Speaking of Fall grades. Did any of you have to submit them when you were applying for law school (after you already submitted your transcript/sent applications off) or did you just submit final transcripts at the end of the year after the admissions cycle and decisions were made?
My GPA dropped a little since Fall gaffes have come out. I’m not sure how much that matters since the GPA I applied with was good.
Thanks!
No problem! My apology’s, I just wanted an answer and I figured that those having already gotten into law school would know for sure, and since you were disscussing Fall grades of another sort I thought I’d ask. However, I don’t want to get you guys off topic & I can see you don’t intend on actually answering the question. I sure hope this isn’t the type of attitude my peers have when I begin. Happy Holiday though! I hope everything works out and your grades were goodA.

i definitely feel this, but resorting to even thoughts of suicide isn't the answer. i definitely get the pressure of needing certain grades when you're dead set on a specific career goal (i had many cry sessions after exams and before over this), but it'll all be alright in the grand scheme of things. you also have another semester to kill it; anecdotal, but i know people who were below median first semester, figured out their mistakes, and were top 10% second semester.basketofbread wrote:How does everyone think they did?
Feeling terrible because I made a fucking ridiculously stupid mistake on one question of my 12 short essay civ pro exam. Hoping it's possible to pull an A- given I picked up on the more subtle issues that anecdotally I know a few people missed. Hopefully the prof doesn't give me a straight zero for that question. Have no idea overall. It's a real shame.
It's the eve of Christmas Eve. Spend time with your family, friends, SO, etc. Stop thinking about grades. It's out of your control.JohnMaynardKeynes wrote:Not sure how the wait until Jan 5 grades release will compare to the wait for LSAT results. I’m already anxious/nervous
Wise advice. I have a stack of books that didn’t get touched all semester so I’m going to dive into those, all of which are entirely non law relatedmcmand wrote:It's the eve of Christmas Eve.

If you need to detach from your thoughts, try meditation, exercise, and/or video games.
This thread is really the worst. The person who made it is officially on the naughty list. Instead of coal, you can have a C in civpro, johnnysacks.
Good plan. I didn't read much in law school until 3L. Regretted it once I realized how much I missed reading things that weren't cases or the news. I ended up reading Asimov's Foundation series, which is very good.JohnMaynardKeynes wrote:Wise advice.

This sounds like my crim final and based on your post history you were considering my school. I wonder if we are in the same section...johnnysacks wrote:I feel like Criminal Law was extremely straightforward. Not hard at all, a bit of a time crunch but overall all the questions were crystal clear to me. The issue with that is that everyone else probably thought so as well which makes the curve ultra tight.
Oof! That's awkward for me lol. But yeah its possible, PM me. What do you think about the final?Legallylawyer2020 wrote:This sounds like my crim final and based on your post history you were considering my school.

I anticipate fairly great results for Contracts, Constitutional Law, etc. But only time will tell, and time.... jeez. Why must we wait so long?
