What was Sonia Sotomayor's class rank at Yale?

Unlike most law schools, Yale does not have a class ranking system. According to Top Law Schools.com, Yale abolished the grading system in the mid-1960s in favor of a less conventional system:

"The first term of classes is taken pass/fail; afterwards, class performance is evaluated on a scale of honors/pass/low pass/fails. Unlike at Stanford and Harvard, where even following a move " Yale-like" grading schemes, professors are limited as to the number of "top" grades that can be awarded, no curve exists at Yale. Students report that "nobody fails, nobody gets a low pass, and it's basically arbitrary whether you'll get a 'pass' or 'honors' in any given class." Most students, it is reported, graduate with a healthy mix of "H"s and "P"s on their transcript.

The result: no class rankings and far less pressure than most other top law schools, but also a fairly unconventional transcript that more than one employer has found difficult to gauge."
