I need rankings so I know where the DROVES of employers will flock to this year.

Rankings fantasy league?

I've been wondering when somebody would finally make one of these.

Is this the year ASU breaks the T18?

when are the new Cooley rankings coming out???

Will this be the year that the stubborn rankings TTTurd that won't flush (American) finally gets sucked down the drain?

UCLA by Cornell?

most fascinating part of the methodology is the peer review and lawyers and judges score. wtf. first of all, who decides who gets these surveys? second, how the fuck do you rate schools based on 1 to 5? at least make it 1 to 10 and allow for half scores. ridiculous. this score counts for like 40% of the rankings, and there is no way to even reform it and make it less than horse-shit.

Hey, maybe they'll give themselves even more unwarranted credit this year. But I'm personally curious to see where Penn, Berk and UVA end up. Someone's gotta break that love triangle up.

The new medians (Class of 2015 or entering in 2012): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... nUnc#gid=0

Who dropped/gained last year (scroll down): http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/?p=775

Penn's median dropped to 169 last year? I assumed they were able to hold it at 170. Interesting!

.

I call 1-6 the same (YLS might drop to 3, but I'm not sure) with Berkeley taking sole possession of 7th

Harvard to 2.
Columbia drops to 5.

Thats just one class into one category, its not gonna be a game changer.

HLS is dubious... I guess it mostly depends on the stats of the incoming class, as I doubt anything else has changed.

I hope UChicago doesn't drop because then I'll have to drop out in shame as employers abandon the school IN DROVES.

From the tone of your response, i'm going to go ahead and conclude that you're an 0L.

Chicago is moving up to Columbia's spot. See my above post for full reasoning.

Now I'll have to swap out all of my T5 sweatshirts and coffee mugs for ones that say T4. Which makes it sound like a TTTT.

Dammit, this will be a disaster regardless.

Should have transferred to ASU. Employers in DROVES. Not too late to do a visiting semester.

Probably would be worth it just to network.
