Harvard is Out. Chicago is In. YSC

Is this the end of Harvard?! I guess doesn't pay off to be a diploma mill.

Re: Harvard is Out. Chicago is In. YSC
Was wondering why nobody is talking about this. Well deserved bump for Chicago.

Can any Pearson Hardman associates comment on how this will affect recruiting?

Chicago has been kicking their ass with clerkships, but tied with CLS is silly.

The first time in history that HLS has fallen out of top 3 in the US news rankings. ShockingAnonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 11:45 pmChicago has been kicking their ass with clerkships, but tied with CLS is silly.

Agree. It'll take at least one generation to change the ingrained and deep-seated notions of hierarchy in the legal profession. One year of a shake-up in the USN&WR isn't that powerful.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 11:52 pmMore like, is this the end of USN&WR?!Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 10:13 pmhttps://abovethelaw.com/2022/03/the-202 ... -are-here/

Just checked. Since 1992, YHS was never broken, and the rankings were very much consistent. H and S changed places frequently but top 3 remained the same.

Re: Harvard is Out. Chicago is In. YSC
Ya'll think about this shit too much. It's based on an equation that weights LSAT, GPA, graduate debt (new), and a few other things. It's not remotely tied to clerkships, top outcomes, etc. Harvard will still continue to be Harvard. UChicago will continue to be UChicago. Northwestern will continue to be Northwestern.

On one hand, it's hilarious. On the other hand, Harvard is still Harvard. But let's be honest, Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro are to blame for this.

Any adverse consequences for NYU? I got admitted to both UChicago and Penn and turned both down to go to NYU
Yes, I'm aware that this is super petty. But I'm a prestige obsessed fool. Like the rest of you.

Does this in any way matter? Harvard is still Harvard, Chicago is Chicago, NYU NYU and Penn Penn. Still, LMFAO get rekt HLS this is what you get for rejecting me.

Re: Harvard is Out. Chicago is In. YSC
No consequences, but i know, it just sucks seeing your alma mater go down in these rankings. If there is to be any consequence like applicants favoring one school over another, these rankings would have to stay like this for the next few years.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 1:40 amAny adverse consequences for NYU?

All due respect to Chicago, but more likely it’s just YS now.

Re: Harvard is Out. Chicago is In. YSC
I actually think over the next couple of decades we're likely to see Chicago cement itself in the top 3 or at least consistently top 4. It's clearly better than CLS and NYU. It makes sense too, best schools on the east coast, west coast, Midwest/rest.
But Penn ahead of NYU makes no sense. Penn is a biglaw factory just like the rest, and its high stats are a function of proximity to NYC. Maybe NYU loses out because of some COA metrics?

That makes sense - Philly's still a lot cheaper than NYC, which could relate to different debt outcomes.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 7:41 amI actually think over the next couple of decades we're likely to see Chicago cement itself in the top 3 or at least consistently top 4.

Re: Harvard is Out. Chicago is In. YSC
i do think it does make more sense to say "YS" rather than "HYS". but i'm not sure what the next bracket would be in that case. HCCN? HCCNP?

That's just a one off year. Need to be 10+ years to solidify a new ranking in people's mind.

It was over for Harvard once their LSAT numbers slipped below Columbia’s.

Re: Harvard is Out. Chicago is In. YSC
I agree. I have a feeling that schools will adjust to the new factors in the ranking methodology and we'll see a return to normal throughout the rankings next year. I think the New York schools in particular are going to need to find a way to make the schools more affordable.nixy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 7:45 amThat makes sense - Philly's still a lot cheaper than NYC, which could relate to different debt outcomes.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 7:41 amI actually think over the next couple of decades we're likely to see Chicago cement itself in the top 3 or at least consistently top 4.

Within the T14, NYU is still much better at placing into "better" BL firms, clerkships, and academia than Penn; the COA must be the difference maker here. The interesting debate, however, is whether Chicago is actually better than Harvard at this point, which it very well might be.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
