My school ranks higher than Yale. It feels good.

Re: Reworked/Reranked LST Data in Spreadsheet
Just curious but given the TLS focus on retake until you can get T14/big law or bust mentality, and given the outcomes in the spreadsheet, why aren't Columbia, NYU, Penn, etc. suggested more over YHS?
Columbia: 88.4% 78.0%; Yale: 71.4% 65.5% ... difference of +17% and +12.5% odds by picking Columbia over Yale? Or do I have something confused?

Re: Reworked/Reranked LST Data in Spreadsheet
This is meaningless for a variety of reasons.
If everyone who went to Yale wanted biglaw, they would be 100% employment score + 100% (biglaw+fedclerk)
Same goes for Harvard and Stanford, to a slightly lesser extent.

the lower BL + FC numbers for YHS is due mostly to self-selection. I believe that was the poster's point.

Re: Reworked/Reranked LST Data in Spreadsheet
You're right that Iowa's in the middle of nowhere, but it's oddly centrally located when it comes to the Des Moines, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Kansas City metro areas. Also, it's a huge state school (30k students / year). Roughly 2/5 of the state's college grads went to UI, so finding connections to locals is super easy.TheodoreKGB wrote:I was pretty surprised with Iowa. I know they reduced class size, but they're in the middle of nowhere.
Plus, also strangely, Iowa has pretty good connections to DC because of huge money in energy and farming, hence the above average FC #s for Iowa's rank.
It's a good school if you want to stay in the IA/MN/NE/KA/IL area and don't care too much about biglaw, but want strong placement.

'TCR' is that you should go to the most appropriate school for your chosen career path. YHS will probably give you the greatest flexibility and opportunities, though clearly for biglaw you don't lose anything by going to Columbia. Whether or not that makes them the best school for you has to be a totally personal thing.

You can't take the school funded rate at the bottom. That includes short-term or part-time school-funded positions. You follow the red asterick(i.e. Minnesota's FTLT school-funded is 1.8, not 8.
