There's discussing rankings, and then there's questioning whether they'll have an impact on anything substantive. At all. They won't. And if you think they do you're an idiot.

Right, and rad lulz is just being a good samaritan by punctuating every third post with a mocking comment. There's steering people in the right direction, and then there's beating a joke to death. We don't need five posts per page to remind us that annual changes in the rankings mean nothing in the long run.

Why would you assume this.

Agreed. Bad assumption.

It's interesting that the schools between #2 and #6 are all one point away from their ranking-neighbors (at least within the T6 minus Yale). I wonder how difficult it is for a school to get that one extra point.

Mainly because my hobby is to create fake LSN accounts to inflate Stanford's medians.

I'm pleased with Maryland's trend. +8 last year and +3 this year. Could I please get more info on this school?

Isn't there something actually useful in the rankings, like clerkship percentages? Has that been posted somewhere?
