PERCENTILE RANGES FOR ESTIMATION OF CLASS STANDING

American University Washington College of Law policy permits numerical ranking of Juris Doctor students only upon their graduation from the law school. However, it does permit percentile ranking information for estimation of class standing.

The AUWCL Registrar's Office estimates class standing by percentile among the GPAs in the upper half of each class.

For the purposes of these percentile ranges, full-time and part-time students are calculated separately until graduation, and LL.M. students are not included in either range.

These ranges are for currently enrolled students by graduating class and division (full-time or parttime) as of the end of the Spring 2024 semester.
