Usually early to mid-March, though they sometimes leak a day or two in advance. So in about 2.5 weeks they will likely be out.

The 2016 Rankings were released in early March.

Hopefully they won't this year

USNWR will release the 2017 ranking during the second or third week of March. Expect some major shake-ups this year.

Rumor has it Penn is dropping out of the T14

Or wait, was it Virginia?

I can't get specific at this point, but I'll drop some hints after I confirm a couple of the more intriguing leaks.

Doing this to someone whose avatar is Charlie Brown seems a little too easy.

ETA: No disrespect intended, Kilted.

Schools start posting 9 month job data pretty soon, eh?

None taken. My avatar definitely set that one up, hopefully it's coincidence though

I thought the T14 was constant? There's no way I can see UT/Vandy/UCLA surpassing Penn or UVA (although their school employment gaming is ridiculous)? If a school can go from #7 to #14+ in a year, then there's no telling if any of these degrees will be worth more than cheap tp in the next couple of decades. I'm probably overacting based on the overemphasis put on USNWR rankings, but damn.

I do not work for US News, but I have a couple of connections on the inside.

Well on that note, any predictions?

My guess is that NU, Duke, and Cornell will all move up; Berk, UVA, and Mich going down a peg or two (none of these schools changing too drastically). If a T14 gets bounced, I'd assume Gtwn for UT/UCLA/Vandy/or USC (darkhorse).

T14 does not change. But based on the information I have, one of the major shake-ups involves two of the schools you mentioned.

Please do not quote.

I'd say Mich gets knocked as opposed to UVA, their employment stats have been shaky recently

.

I can't wait for my school to jump 5 spots, it'll open up soooooo many more job opportunities, cause you know employers really give a fuck about rankings, but wait, what if my school drops by 5, fuck, better have those transfer apps ready before March

New year, same old rpupkin.

isn't it like eye floaties (or meditation) ? the more you think about it, the less likely it'll happen. you have to give yourself into not caring and only then will it reveal itself.

Any word on movement of H and S? I'm trying to decide between the two and the USNews ranking will most likely end up determining which one I pick. I don't think I could bear the shame of depositing at Stanford only to have it fall below Harvard in the rankings.

Stanford's Class of 2018 LSAT median is the same as Columbia's, and Columbia has a better BL%. You do the math.

Also I can confirm rpupkin's post. Penn will be a lot closer to where it should be after this year's rankings come out.
