Cornell's median salary
Is it really the case that Cornell grads at the median get $160,000?

Re: Cornell's median salary
I think you aren't understanding how they are using the world median...
Is it true that the median salary for grads in private practice is 160k? Sure but that dosen't mean nearly as much as you think.
Is it true that graduates AT median are making 160k...well, a few of them- but I think its safe to say many if not most are not...

ITE, assuming about 10% clerk, I'd say under 40% are making $160k. That's just based off the stats readily available on the internet. A Cornellian would likely know better.

No.
According to your logic, median grads at BLS can expect $120k.

Median salaries mean nothing. Retake and ED to Harvard ftw.

Re: Cornell's median salary
Mean being the operative word. For once, I'd like a school to just straightforwardly take all of the salaries, add them up, and divide them by the number of students (not including the unemployed, the amount and percentage of which they should disclose). Every damn LS out there spins their employment stats. It's really sickening, especially since lawyers are supposed to have such high ethical standards.jtemp320 wrote:Sure but that dosen't mean nearly as much as you think.

This. It's not grads at the median of the class, its the median salary of the grads, which must always be taken with a grain of salt.jtemp320 wrote:I think you aren't understanding how they are using the world median...
