USNWR Rankings Released...Seriously Forum

[arhmcpo]

Just got back from the gym and I see this 21 page thread that wasn't here this afternoon. Can someone give me cliffnotes -- is this real and how did we get it?!

Some Chick Lawyer found a leaked copy at grand central station and posted legit rankings. Main screen shots are on the middle of page 10!!

I'm probably the only one who cares but can someone post/or simply tell me if U of Baltimore moved from T4 to T3?

UBalt did jump up to T3

What's the basis for this?

These rankings are definitely real -- from a newstand in grand central.. Page 10!

Umm...the leaked rankings that have been discussed non-stop for the past 22 pages?

Unless you're referring to what caused the jump up to T3, in which case I have no clue.

Someone posted that the rankings were released, but they were kidding.

Then some chick reported that the magazine was avialable at Grand Central station.

This was followed by accusations of her being a flame, a lot of anxious waiting, and a recounting of how the magazine was released by mistake at Penn station last year.

Then she posted them to her Facebook account, which bothered a shit load of people at work.

Then they got posted on flickr or whatever and everyone was happy. Except people whose school dropped (*cough* Fordham)

GW worth sticker now?

Really upset I just dropped $400 on Cardozo this morning.

No, they didn't break into the T12.

Don't be. It's not like the rankings make it a worse school.

You should be upset, but it shouldn't have anything to do with these rankings.

So, what are the thoughts on categorical rankings, do they matter? I know BU is number 22, but does the fact its 6 in tax help me if I'm interested in the field?

w/r/t T12 vs T14, check out the quick'n'dirty chart I just whipped up plotting the scores versus the ranking.

Can you add in 2010 and 2009?

Can OS be reached for comment on the um... Fordham issue??

[whattodo2008]

So is it fair to say that even though UVA stayed at #10, it did gain in these rankings from Duke and Northwestern falling a spot?

[quickquestionthanks]

I should take this time to say that I'm so glad I chose to register an account here as opposed to AutoAdmit. Better formatting, and clearly, better users.

Can I just say... I fucking love TLS and everyone on it.

saved for future enjoyment and a year's worth of use against Cornell/GULC fans. Happy trolling!

Not that I was ever completely satisfied with it, but I did buy into the "rising star" narrative until this.

Thank you all for the cliffs. Georgetown stays in top 14 -- GULC secure! haha if my friends had any idea how dorky and lame I am... well, yeah.

prestige wise it doesn't mean anything

but actually learning technical skills wise i think it means a little. Seattle U being #1 in legal writing doesn't really mean much to employers, but it means that once I get into the market things might be a little easier for me in that department

yea.... SLS and CLS are peers. SLS closer to CLS than to HLS. CLS closer to SLS than to NYU.

UVA went up 3 points, while Duke and NU went up 2 points. Still just 1 points behind Michigan (and 2 behind Penn).

I feel like a moron... this post sent me back to my Davis status checker, which I hadn't looked at in weeks.

It doesn't matter at all, see the Health Law rankings if you want proof.
