Michigan and Penn tied for 7.

This will guarantee you at least 4 more blowies per year and approx. 50 more employers showing up at OCI. This is srs bzns.

[chup]

I make money at my job. I'll take that over whatever you do.

You can win at real life. I'll continue to win on the internetz.

Or maybe I'll win at real life too and be BI-WINNING!

Yeah. You do that.

Man are you this much fun in real life too?

Maybe, but as a 2L, the only thing that matters to me w/r/t rankings is that UVA/Boalt trolls STFU. I swear those two schools have the most trolls on TLS.

I'm pretty sure everyone gets that T18 only exists between Orange County and San Diego, and everywhere else, it's just T17.

BURN! That's the kind of anti-USC trolling I like to see!

I'm confused and too lazy to search the thread. I thought they were ranking T3 and T4 this year?


EDIT- just looks like T3 (assuming 145 is the boundary)

Baby Jesus loves you both.

Phew I was really about to /self there for a second, thanks for talking me off the ledge. I mean, rising one spot in the rankings should guarantee at least a FEW more employers at OCI. Maybe even rope in a few more V30s. I mean we're only getting V40s now.

Guys I know they say the V37 I am working at is less prestigious than a lot of the V25s out there, but many of those are sweaTTTshops, amirite??

Agreed. Employers will flock en masse from Penn's OCI to Mich.

i'm looking over the medians from last year and this new ranking. so far i see that Berkeley dropped in its 25% in GPA and lsat (3.68 -> 3.64, 165 -> 162). Crazy it's still in T10.

NYU's 75% LSAT went up to 175 from last year's 173 and is now equal to that of Columbia.
ETA Columbia's LSAT %s went up by 0.01 point to 3.61 (25%) and 3.82 (75%)

we're just trying to counterbalance you

Full disclosure: If I can get out of it with less than $140k in debt, I'm going to USC. Though I recognize its limitations, I really don't want to live anywhere else but between OC and SD.

Any body have the specific percentiles especially Emory's? Also, anyone have an explanation for their big drop this year?

[ArthurDigbySellers]

I get why the part-time can bring the rankings down, I just can't fathom the elitism one needs to call a part-time program a bad thing. Say what you want about the number of students at Georgetown, but so what if some people working on the Hill and whatnot want to get a law degree without leaving their jobs? Would if I could.

Haters gonna hate...

PT is easier to get into thus you lose much of your elitism when you are taking people with lower numbers.

Wow. I didn't know GULC was *that* big. Holy shit.

[paulinaporizkova]

god, now i can only expect the michigan trolling on TLS to become 10 times as heinous as it was before

I don't know, but I'd stay away from that festering TTT. Firms are looking at the rankings and deciding not to OCI there as we speak.

I already jumped. Texting this during free-fall. Goodbye, TLS.
