Wow, Stanford got an amazing pass rate.

Stanford? It just shows what happens when you enact a no-grades policy so that students cooperate in learning instead of cutting each others throats and hiding the ball all during the academic year.

Damn Stanford pwned. Maybe other Law Schools should consider the Stanford methodology, 97% is pretty damn respectable, especially on the toughest bar in the nation. It'd be insteresting to compare Stanford v. Yale v. Harvard score on the Multistate Bar Exam, and if Stanford won that one, it's pretty damn clear that grades are more harmful then useful, especially in Law Schools.
