<p>If there were a formula to getting high grades 1L year, everyone would do it, and the curve would still award A’s to a small fraction of the class. There isn’t any formula. Your 1L grades are largely out of your control. Most of the class will be smart and work hard. People who do everything right sometimes tank. It doesn’t make sense to go to law school unless you can accept that risk.</p>
