Is someone/can someone keep the original tally going? It's been a while since the OP has been edited.

Ready for UT to post our new medians so I can personally take credit for dragging them down. You're welcome, Class of 2016. They are likely to drop though I would think, the new 2012-13 admissions pamphlet makes no mention of GPAs or LSATs and the website still has old numbers up.

This is what happens when you left a person with 30 posts start it.

mother of god Barry

Enrolled: 296 (includes evening division) LST shows 267 from last year; not sure if that includes PTers.

LSAT: 145 (-2) / 147 (-2) / 152 (0)....are they fudging their 75th!!?!?

GPA: 2.58 i don't even / 2.92 (-.03) / 3.25 (-.01)

kudos ABA

Sorry to quote myself, but I meant to make a note about this earlier. If Law School Transparency's figure for Barry last year includes evening division students, then Barry has reportedly added about 30 students despite across-the-board decreases in its profile. And during a cycle when there are far fewer applicants. And when their profile sucked ass to begin with. Words cannot describe. This is something I've been fearful of - bottom tier schools have no real incentive to climb rank - it's just not going to happen.

Why would Florida Coastal, Cooley, John Marshall, Suffolk, etc. care about a few drops in median? Why not just sign up as many people as possible, and deny some who have truly awful credentials (splitting hairs). I don't know if Barry actually denies admission. They can balance out high-130s LSATs with high-140s.

So you have a couple things at work. You have T1/T2 schools with incentive to climb/maintain rank, since it may influence future enrollment numbers and consequently revenue, and then you have a whole 'nother subsection of schools just trying to sign people up. What's amazing is that despite Barry's horrid admissions profile, their practices probably do not violate ABA Standards (chap. 5) since its wording is so ineffectual.

I understand ASU made a crazy jump in the rankings, and definitely shouldn't be listed above several schools (BU/BC/etc.), but what's with all the hate? Is it justified? Thaaaanks!

Their biglaw placement rate is basically zero. I don't remember the exact number but I think it's like 5 or 6% which should put them in TT category. Not to mention they are a full 10% below UA in terms of overall placement and have exactly one market to send grads to (Phoenix) which is neither big nor bustling.

Gotcha. Thank you.

Could their ability to attract better-qualified candidates than UoA affect their placement in Phx? UoA is in Tucson, and I know ASU is well-respected in the Phoenix metro area...

I have absolutely NO desire to attend ASU's law school.

Nah I imagine the trivially low big law percentage they have already is about the best they can do in Phoenix. There just aren't that many SAs and a certain amount of them will always go to Arizona people from better schools.

[iMisto]

^ that makes sense. Thank you.

Does anyone have (don't laugh) RU-C's numbers?

[dissonance1848]

Right now the decline in enrollment for 2015 is only about 1200-1500. I hope it is more than that.

@justonemoregame
Great finds! I've updated my thread to reflect the changes.

@Regarding Barry:
Isn't there a law against defrauding borderline mentally-handicaped people?

According to the following link, Duke's entering class will be 208 (down by 3). No mention of medians was made.

This school's dean is chair of the ABA's Section of Legal Education, which accredits law schools.

Want to guess his salary?

I know we like to disparage TTTs, but let's not disparage the students, brother.

Unbelievable. What a POS. Ironically, the USNWR has done more for standards than the ABA.

In twenty years, there needs to be a TLS voting block in the ABA. We'll fix this bullshit. A self-regulating profession should regulate itself better than, well, this.

1. The OP is edited 50 times.
2. I'm a 1L at WFU, all the information here is essentially irrelevant to me.
3. You should probably evaluate your personalty/manner. This is a really dick comment given how much free time I've donated to this thread, which has 20k+ views and is reposted by Paul Campos, where I have zero to gain from this.

He started one last year that he actually kept up with. http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 2&t=163250

You are the dick in this situation. Just update the OP and everyone will be cool.

My comment was distasteful, but the blame rests on both law students and law schools, and IMO both deserve criticism. Regrettably only law students currently bear the full responsibility.

Idiot, he didn't complete his thread (there are 201 law schools, and like 40 in his headnote). I'm updating the thread, but i have a million other priorities and providing a thread with a lot of information here. I'm a dick for spending dozens of hours for free to provide a public service to law students?

[Mr. Fancy]

I agree 100% with Wakelaw15. He doesn't owe anyone anything. Everyone should be grateful for the time and effort he has given. If the OP doesn't meet your standards, instead of bitching about it, maybe you should create your own

That is sort of the point. We don't need dozens of these threads around. Don't start one unless you are willing to update it.

My last comment was only to point out that is was ironic that Wake was calling out Madrid, who had himself had the responsibility of updating this thread last year.

We don't owe him anything either. But there are tons of volunteers more willing to do what he think we should all be so grateful for.
