Last Post Of The Day

LawSclBarbie has a post on median grades for several law schools. I thought I'd add SW's info. From SWLAW's student handbook:
Southwestern utilizes an alpha grading system in which the actual grade earned is represented by an alphabetical letter. Grades are assigned from A+ to F. No unit credit is granted when the grade received is an F. A cumulative GPA of 2.0 must be maintained....

To insure equity in multiple section courses and uniformity of grades, the faculty has adopted a policy requiring that all required courses must have a mean of 2.2 to 2.4 and a median of C+. All electives must have a mean of 2.2 to 2.6 and a median of C+/B-. In courses where fewer than 30 students are enrolled, this policy is to be used as a guideline.
