So, 15% of the score was based on the opinion of 90 people across the country? Cool.
I wonder what the demographics were in terms of who was chosen to be surveyed, and in terms of who chose to respond.

More importantly for a prospective law student, they are also struggling currently in NCAA basketball.

I see theres been some questioning the U-Washington jump to 20. Add this to those questions: how can they certify 96% full-time employment in a job requiring a law degree (and excluding graduate school) when only 85% of its students passed the Washington bar. And how could go last year from reporting 89.5% to now reporting 96% when the new reporting requirements require such precise definitions of full-time employment and verification as of Feb 15th?

Besides gaming it of course.

Talk about gaming the system... I just looked at ASU's Career Services website... sure, they reported 99% employment, but of that, only 79% is full-time, and 12% are University-funded jobs... Basically, ASU has an actual, full-time, non-school paid employment rate of 67%, but they reported 99%. The rankings are a joke.

Anyone want to make a new graph for this year? (And I would be extremely thankful if the graph incorporated UT/Vandy/UCLA at least, if not T25/30 . . . the biggest benefit of UT cracking T14 last year was it was a lot easier to get this sort of info.)

The differences in acceptance rates from last year look interesting--most of them have increased non-neglible amounts. And Virginia has begun to perfect its YP strategy.
