Top Law Schools

I've been working on a tool to help me make big life decisions, like which law school to choose. The genesis is that I'm a lawyer (NYU '11) and have been thinking through possibilities for my career. Also thinking about things like where to live. Here's the website, which has been helpful for me in figuring out what factors really matter: http://decidealgo.com/

And here's an example for picking an undergrad: http://decidealgo.com/?page=dec&algo_id ... a684190233

The site is a totally free labor of love--hope it's useful to someone out there.

A bunch have people have used this--hope it's helped! For anyone who has a moment to give feedback by replying here, I'd be really grateful because I can change it to make it more useful.

A couple specific questions:

1) Would it be helpful to have a template that includes things like cost, academic reputation, climate, etc.--things everyone cares about to some extent?

2) Did you understand that some factors are inverted? That is, for cost to be a 10/10 would mean the school is free or cheap since 10/10 is perfect in the algorithm (analogously, 10/10 academic reputation is obviously a perfect score, but this is not an inverted factor). Many people are confused about this and give more expensive schools a higher rating (thinking higher price means higher number in the algorithm) on the cost ten-point scale.

Thanks all!

I just posted a sample algorithm, choosing between four schools. I think it may be easier for some people to start from this than from the blank page: http://decidealgo.com/?page=dec&algo_id ... 8f3c736516
