Do a few points on the LSAT really matter? Forum

My point is that they push UC Berkeley way higher than it should be judging by its LSAT range (it should be the bottom of the T14), placing it at #6 last year, for example. Job placement data do not support the US News' rank. Otherwise, yes, the T14's US News ranking is nearly the same as the LSAT ranking.

For a method that uses a bunch of non-employment factors (though are related to employment) and an employment factor that is hopelessly skewed, I think it's pretty impressive how close it is to the real thing.

There is only a couple of schools that don't follow the trend. Only three points separate students in UVA from students in Yale. So do a few points on the LSAT really matter? You decide.
