Also all of these schools will report 100% employment and median starting salaries of $160k.

does this mean that Villanova's 2012 rank won't be influenced by the scandal?bdubs wrote:You guys realize that this year's USNWR rankings are based on last years medians, right?

Villanova will submit more accurate data about last year's outcomes than they have in the past, so it will probably go down in the rankings.lawgrl21 wrote:does this mean that Villanova's 2011 rank won't be influenced by the scandal?bdubs wrote:You guys realize that this year's USNWR rankings are based on last years medians, right?

This would represent some pretty crazy changes, but we'll see. I think NYU and Cornell are both due for a good bump due to good LSAT numbers last year.

It is amazing how much W&L Law has tanked over the last few years. Their NLJP numbers look just plan ugly.TyrodTaylor wrote:i say UVA moves up and W&L drops out of T40. Indiana needs to drop

I predict BU back to 20, cut their 1L class by 30 for construction.

The new NLJ250 figures show GA State placing higher than UGA. I still think UGA would get me a better job.nickwar wrote:Seconded.I want to see UGA move up, or at least stay at 28.

Why is that? I guess I don't really understand. There are a few schools 27-40 who didn't even make the NLJ 250 rankings yet nobody is predicting a large drop in their rankings.SrLaw wrote:It is amazing how much W&L Law has tanked over the last few years.
