Most Desirable Law Schools 2008
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 8:32 pm
Ranking of law schools by apparent "desirability" among candidates, based on various measures (using 2008 ABA data, since 2009 is not yet available).
FACTORS
(FTE is full-time enrollment)
MKT "Market Share" = Ratio of 1/2 FTE to M (where M = number of candidates per 100,000 with this school's median LSAT)
OFT Ratio of offers to FTE (negated)
GFT Ratio of students receiving large grants (at least 1/2 tuition) to FTE (negated)
OUT Ratio of transfers out to FTE (negated)
Brian Leiter came up with the idea of ranking schools by aggregate LSAT scores of entering students, on the theory that applicants with higher LSAT scores generally have more options, and so their choices where to attend reflect a "market participant" ranking of how desirable candidates on the whole find each given school. Unlike Leiter, I used median LSAT and calculated an estimated "market share" of students that each school enrolled, among those candidates who scored at or above that school's median LSAT. This ranking also takes Leiter's idea a couple steps further, by including other factors that reflect how much effort a school has to make to convince applicants to commit -- making more offers and giving larger grants -- as well as how many people bolt when given the chance at the end of 1L. Schools that make more offers, give more large grants, and shed more transfers out are assumed less "desirable" in this model.
The values used for each factor are percentile rank in each category, so that each weighs equally and proportionately in the total. The score is just the sum of the four factors.

FACTORS
(FTE is full-time enrollment)
MKT "Market Share" = Ratio of 1/2 FTE to M (where M = number of candidates per 100,000 with this school's median LSAT)
OFT Ratio of offers to FTE (negated)
GFT Ratio of students receiving large grants (at least 1/2 tuition) to FTE (negated)
OUT Ratio of transfers out to FTE (negated)
Brian Leiter came up with the idea of ranking schools by aggregate LSAT scores of entering students, on the theory that applicants with higher LSAT scores generally have more options, and so their choices where to attend reflect a "market participant" ranking of how desirable candidates on the whole find each given school. Unlike Leiter, I used median LSAT and calculated an estimated "market share" of students that each school enrolled, among those candidates who scored at or above that school's median LSAT. This ranking also takes Leiter's idea a couple steps further, by including other factors that reflect how much effort a school has to make to convince applicants to commit -- making more offers and giving larger grants -- as well as how many people bolt when given the chance at the end of 1L. Schools that make more offers, give more large grants, and shed more transfers out are assumed less "desirable" in this model.
The values used for each factor are percentile rank in each category, so that each weighs equally and proportionately in the total. The score is just the sum of the four factors.
