Princeton Review rankings - Chapman getting props??? Forum

[SoCal123]

OK, this data taken from http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com pretty much says it all. It is current as of today. Chapman is an excellent school but Irvine is in a different league.

And yes, Irvine won't be ranked (and Chapman is only Tier 3 - probably Tier 2 in about a week...) but anyone attending either of these schools will learn that rank and quality of education are NOT synonymous. Heck, Irvine won't even be ABA and its graduates will crush the average graduates from 95% of ABA accredited schools.

I really wonder if Irvine is going to make as big a splash as a lot of people seem to think. They have 0 alumni and part of the reason that they have high numbers for their students is that every single one of them got a scholarship. What will their numbers be like this next year or the one after?

Chapman Law #93 in the 2011 rankings. Looks like Oklahoma Mike was dead wrong. I'd be very interested to hear what OK Mike has to say now.
