2013 Rankings Forum

[chup]

Two listserv emails ≠ "going crazy."

I meant the retarded pink post.

Ok, so one loud-mouth gives a shit.

Meh... 35... Could've been worse. I think I put the over/under at 36.5, so a little better than maybe I thought. Still, we're all pretty annoyed here in UC.

Not that we haven't been expecting this and trying to figure out what the hell it's going to mean for us. Meh. Only thing I'm afraid of is that it's gonna be a little tougher to transfer out for anyone who wants to, in part because of the rankings drop and in other part because every single person in the top 25% is going to be sending out transfer apps now. Ugh. At least the administration will be able to charge their exorbitant fees for letters of good standing and the like and make some free money to get them back on the right track.

How did a cess pool like Arizona St. end up at 26? Did they buy a bunch of library volumes or something? We know that rankings are disconnected completely from any real employment data or outcomes.

TBF, that poster is an obscene gunner.

What an annoying law school project.

Dude, you want your best competition to transfer out. That's only a good thing. What matters is (1) you're not going to see fewer firms showing up, and (2) public interest orgs aren't going to give a rat's ass about USWNR.

That is the most ridiculous profile I've ever seen... and I've spent hours reading Grindr profiles.

I think its their employment after 9 months, it magically shot way up compared to last year

[t14fanboy]

Given how closely packed the 2-6 are, I was wondering if there are structural reasons (due to the arbitrary nature of the rankings/criteria) that might prevent Chicago/Columbia from overtaking, say, Harvard/Stanford. Seeing a new top 3 after two decades would be kinda funny.

Also, I can't believe Harvard's median LSAT is higher than Stanford's 75th.

STOP. Does not compute.

Was trying to be a little less straightforward outside the transfer forum, but wth, it's no secret: It will be tougher for me to transfer out.

Michigan dropping to #10 would be a shittier birthday present if these rankings mattered.

HEATHEN!

This has gotten out of hand

Plus, Lenten self-ban is Lounge only.

I remember that asshat from the admission cycle last year. "Oh, there's nothing special about me. I just have sub-median numbers at all the T-14, but I turned down a RTK at NYU for a shit load of aid at Stanford."

[jeeptiger09]

Can someone post UTK please? #69 Thanks!

People at ASU law I talk to seem to be convinced nobody has a job. Maybe there are lucrative starbucks jobs popping up in Arizona or perhaps the school just employs them.

[JoeFish]

But yeah, in general, you're right. People in the Top 10% or even Top 20% shouldn't be too affected re OCI and careers.

[abbottsbar]

Sweet baby Jesus, Richmond's employment numbers are abysmal!

With a 177, why the hell did you not apply or ED to T14?

what on earth

[horrorbusiness]

anyone know why uc irvine remains unranked? i thought their usnwr debut was this year.

Long story, been discussed before, let's not get into it here.

Suffice to say, can't change it now.

[JamesChapman23]

Guess they couldn't even commit fraud correctly. Reflects poorly on their career services staff. Next year they might want to hire Pless as a consultant.

Also, can anyone explain to me how Washington and Lee ends up 23? They are about the 4th best law school in a massively over-saturated state....

I have no clue how they jumped William & Mary. I'd probably rank Virginia schools with UVA at the top, followed by W&M, and then W&L and GMU lumped together, with Richmond close to those.
