is this thread just referring to the tuition increases? (Berkeley used to be best bang for buck outside HYS)
Don't TTTs have really high bar passage rates?

We'll see when the stats come out, but none of the evidence I've seen points that way, at least for Duke and NU.
Re: Duke, if you look at the chart, at the time current hiring partners were in law school, Duke was a solid T10 and Penn was a solidly T10-14. So I think the reputation argument is a bit bunk.
Re: NU, it has a strong geographic/size advantage. In Chicago, NU loses only to YHSCC, all of which (even U of C) primarily target NYC/DC and have the placement power to get their grads jobs in those markets even ITE. Finally, NU and U of C together produce less than 500 graduates total, into a legal market not much smaller than DC.

I personally feel the T14 tiers are
HYS
C
CNMVPBDNGC
Y (undisputed #1)
H (weaker numbers and yield than Y)
S (weaker numbers and less national than HY)
---
CC
N (weaker placement than CC)
---
MVP
B (weaker non-CA placement than MVP)
---
DN (strong placement on par with MVPB)
C (weakest numbers of the T14)
G (weakest placement of the T14)

Makes sense. Would you agree that Cornell and GULC have taken significant hits ITE? I'm starting to see TLS claims that Texas and Vandy are matching or even beating them.

I mean it's total speculation at this point. I wouldn't want to be one of 650 GULC grads into DC or #3 for NYC which has 2 T6 schools with 400-500 grads apiece. I feel like in those markets you're competing with the entire T14, while for Chicago you're largely competing with one small T14 and a bunch of T1's.

That's not entirely true. On their website it says 90% of market rate is the limit, so it'll probably cost just as much on average.
edit: never mind, this is only true for CA residents
