<p>Is anyone else worrying about them? I kinda just realized that one B can kill your GPA :/ (freshman here)
What is your current grade and what are you shooting for?</p>
<p>a B killing your GPA? I know people who would do almost anything for a B! I think you may need to calm down a bit about your grades; getting a 4.0 isn't everything.</p>
<p>a B won't kill your GPA, even if you do want to go to med school!!! geez.</p>
<p>You aren't in highschool anymore bub. A B won't kill your GPA.</p>
<p>I want to go to Harvard Law. A B DOES kill your GPA.</p>
<p>haha. I'm trying to get my GPA into harvard law territory, too. Even though I should pull at worst a 3.85 this semester, my one B freshman year and my one C+ in a difficult 18 credit semester is killing me. Without those two grades my GPA is a full one tenth higher and in harvard law territory :(:(</p>
<p>3.85 IS Harvard Law territory :)</p>
<p>a 3.85 OVERALL is, but a few of them combined with a 3.4 freshman year isn't. Though I'm a junior I have as many credits as a senior, and thus it is quite hard to get my overall to budge. A 3.85 this semester would only raise me from a 3.67 to a 3.7 overall...</p>
<p>Honestly, as much as HLS would be nice, I have no objection to going to some of the lower top10 schools like Chicago, Penn, etc.</p>
<p>I'm sure there are people who got into Harvard Law with a 3.7 and 179 LSAT. Just remember, you're not too far off.</p>
<p>lol, but how hard is to get a 179 LSAt......</p>
<p>Chocoman, seriously, don't worry about it. Worst case, you'll get your 3.7, and then go to Penn Law or Duke or something. It's fine. They're still fine law schools.</p>

Oh how gracious of you.</p>
<p>lol, yea...............</p>
<p>Was that supposed to be sarcastic?</p>
<p>Just a tad. :)</p>
<p>While futurenyustudent seems a little singleminded on the issue of LS ranking, it is legitimately an important thing for a legal career to do well at a highly ranked school, so I'll forgive him his almost religious obsession. ;)</p>
<p>this thread is ridiculous</p>
<p>go have fun.</p>
<p>Didn't you see "Legally Blonde?"</p>
