Are you talking about how Duke got 100% employment rate right after graduation?Panther7 wrote:I want to meet the guy who failed Wisconsin's diploma privilege...
And kudos for Duke, they've become masters of fudging.
Being from St. Louis, my understanding is that job placement in St. Louis in Kansas City was abysmal and with state budget cuts and lot of key faculty walked. However, this doesn't explain such a precipitous decline. They are ranked behind so many public schools that they had a leg up on ever since the rankings came out.Nicholasnickynic wrote:chadwick218 wrote:The biggest losser appears to be the University of Missouri.

Besides that the big losses that I think are surprising are Buffalo, South Carolina, and Marquette falling out. All fell out from the 80s.Nicholasnickynic wrote:chadwick218 wrote:The biggest losser appears to be the University of Missouri. Down 34 spots from 59 to 93!

NU does have the reputation for older students, most of which go to law school because they want to get paid, hence BigLaw. I assume the percentage doing clerkships or public service in NU is low (correct me if I'm wrong). This contribute to low peer assessment, especially from judges. Plus, NJ250 stats does not mean good Vault 20 placement stats which I assume could make a difference in peer assessment.

You heard wrong. You can easily find this years methodology on the usnwr website. There were minor tweakings.
You really think usnwr would put heavy emphasis on size of library?
Mizzou is also AWFUL about giving scholarships... seriously, WUSTL and several other T25 were cheaper for me than Mizzou. They just aren't attracting top students.chadwick218 wrote:Being from St. Louis, my understanding is that job placement in St. Louis in Kansas City was abysmal and with state budget cuts and lot of key faculty walked.

Huh. I noticed that a few of the schools in the alleged rankings are unaccredited, namely the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania. This seems to cast doubt on the leak's veracity.Nicholasnickynic wrote:above the law = Law gossip
