100% as long as you stop capitalizing parts of words in an annoying manner.

Definitely know current 2Ls who had much better grades and did not get Skadden this year. Maybe your statement was true in 2004 but not today.

OP: are you a 1L? If so, 177 only represents 15% of your 1L GPA so you've got a long way to go. It could get better. Or worse.

Im a 1L, but will do significantly better. Read "Getting to Maybe" over winter break and will PWN the memo. I was a NYT editor prior to law school, have the utmost confidence in my writing ability.

GL with that. Seriously, people step it up in Winter/Spring and there's no way to PWN the memo --- that was the most random grading I've ever experienced. I know LR-types who got 175 in LRW and dumbs who got 180+

Just keep your head down and do your best. No one can accurately forecast what OCI will look like next year.

That's what I never get about the 'got median pwned, going to curve break pwn next semester / quarter / year' poasts. There's no A for effort in law school, the only way to move up is to take somebody's spot. It's not impossible, but it's not easy either.

177 is median*

I have heard of people going from bottom 25% to coif. There were a lot of things I would change. For example I briefed cases and started to outline during reading week. Going to curve break pwn this quarter.

You can't get Skadden with median grades anymore? How times change.
