2012 U.S. News Rankings (March 15th... It's official)

[Grizz]

Damn, St. John's took a beating

SJU FTL

On another note, good to see IUB go up into the top 25.

This will assuredly put them in the top 50 schools for NLJ250 stats. Biglaw employers will finally wise up.

it's all you dood. USNWR is a big fan.

Given that between my 0L year and now the school has gone from 44 to 23, I think it's safe to say we're seeing a "SBL Effect." To everyone who might benefit from UC Davis's new ranking in the future, I'd just like to humbly say "You're welcome."

But won't they drop off once you graduate?

They'll already have done OCI, so it doesn't matter.

I found the reputation scores interesting:

4.8 H
4.7 YS
4.6 CCV
4.5 MP
4.4 NBD
4.3 NCGT
4.1 Vandy
4.0 Carolina
3.9 UCLA, WUSTL, Minn, Emory, W&L
3.8 GW, W&M, Iowa, Hastings
3.7 BU, UIUC, ND, BC, UW, UW-M
3.6 USC, IUB, UCD, Wake

Hastings is more highly regarded than USC and UCD, but our employment rates are lagging 10%+ behind..hmmm

Is this the academic peer score or judges and lawyers reputation score?

I have left traces of my DNA all over the school to prevent this from happening. You're welcome.

BC went up one...it really should push hard to get into the T25...maybe finally tie or get past BU

How does IUB stay so high in the rankings?

LOL, "trending":

"Percent employed in all judicial clerkships"

Notre Dame: 15.1%
Boston College: 8.2%
Indiana: 7.5%
Illinois: 6.7%

"Percent employed in a judicial clerkship by an Article III federal judge"

Notre Dame: 7.6%
Indiana: 4.7%
Boston College: 4.3%
Illinois: 4.2%
WUSTL: 3.0%

definitely. then their graduates would be able to find employment. as of now they get no respect in Boston. Big firms just don't want to hire from a non-t25.

TBF using NLJ250 data is essentially a way to pump up Fordham and GW at the expense of solid schools in smaller markets. The "good" firms in places like Indianapolis aren't likely to be NLJ250, but they're still decent options.

I just want to get in. After my Maryland "prefered" waitlist today I can all but cross off the possibility.

Yeah, but Indiana shouldn't be getting slaughtered by Iowa or even Wisconsin in those rankings. There's definitely a bias there, but not enough to explain why Indiana grossly underperforms its peer schools in this metric.

Naw, SBL was merely having a j/o or 2 in the school , not sexing up a girl.

"Percent employed in a judicial clerkship by an Article III federal judge"

Is that data for class of '09?

WUSTL has more a larger student body than all 4 of the other schools, and there are a finite number of fed and Art III clerkships to go around. You do the math.
