we talked about this many times. with schools in that rank (16/17-30) all the employment data is just not as relevant IMO. you need to come in knowing you gotta make it to the top 20-30% of your class (I say 30% for school 16-20 and 20% for schools 21-30) or bad things will happen. the kids who are in those rank will be okay (combined with how they fare in OCI, their nature, ability to network and sell themselves etc. but that goes for any LS student, top or bottom). If you have that mentality in mind, you realize that the change in employment just doesnt matter as much. be in that rank, all things equal you'll be in a position to finish school with a job. don't be in that rank, assume the worst.

Honestly, I liked the pre-edit one more.

+1

Does this mean I should abandon the thread and/or TLS for this view?

Take a look at their ABA report

http://employmentsummary.abaquestionnaire.org/

Can someone tell me how they are ranked so highly?

Looking through the years, it appears that their prospects are worsening as the economy is getting better (even taking into account differences in the measures for each year)

I'd say this is a shitty year and hopefully won't continue afterwards.

yea tbf...most schools have a shitty year at some point. Hopefully it motivates W&L's CSO to step up their game and the adcomm to start reducing class sizes

Well, they're ranking score is "62". Yes their Peer assessment scores are a bit high for their rank, so is there bar passage rate. Apparantly that's enough to overcome employing 27% of grads at graduating, and having 1/2 be school funded. I can't imagine how brutal the class of 2015 is going to have it.

This is like the exact opposite of SMU.

Faculty resources are 15% and Peer score plus lawyers/judges score is 40%. Placement is only 20%, unfortunately.

That's why I said its like the exact opposite of SMU. Despite having T-20ish employment numbers, the stigma SMU has, as to where half of Texas just despises that school, brings it down.

^that's the only number anyone reading this thread should care about. You will get this salary. Just don't fuck up.

You COULD answer the pm I sent you earlier though

WOW. Wannabe ignores PMs too huh? Kinda messed up considering how bad he makes me feel about ignoring his...

[lhanvt13]

Since last years class fluctuated so much with the ranking hike, hopefully the drop out of the top 25 and drop in employment statistics makes this year a class of <100.

I am just distraught since JadeWest has decided to ignore me.

I kind of get what you're saying, but the 9-month employment numbers are like 67% employed and only 3 school-funded positions. So it's not like those people aren't getting jobs.

According to Rodocker they are shooting for 135

I'm a graduating 3L and the cabin I'm living in is available for rent starting May 15.

It's an awesome place for 2 or 3 people who love the outdoors, or a small family. Let me know if you have questions. More info and pics in this album:
