I'm shocked. How the heck did they hold while increasing class size by so much?
That Hometown ohio pride is strong
I think it must have something to do with Case's overall reputation on an undergraduate level and beating the sickness that was Dean Mitchell, considering only 37% come from Ohio.

Just read that Georgetown had a serious increase in apps so they might able to keep their medians. Don't know about WUSTL total apps.

Continuing Brooklyn's "it is a great thing that our law school class size is growing" press releases, Hawaii issues a press release touting its largest class size in history at 99 full time, 24 evening, almost double last year:

St. Johns class size "approximately 215" per their press release, down from 253 or 263 last year, depending on whether you believe the spreadsheet or the ABA standard 509 report.

I know, right? Maybe schools are throwing tons of cash around to keep up their medians.

Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Georgetown admitted a ton of 167 splitters this year, so it's pretty much a certainty that they dropped to 167.

This. I do think there are more deferrals heading in this year, so the decrease won't be as big as the LSAC data suggests. But it will be a decrease.

I'm tired of waiting for new medians, so I've resorted to googling various combinations of 2017, class profile, law, etc.

I don't think I've seen anyone else find this one...

Tennessee - Knoxville
3.46/3.64/3.87
154/158/160
92 Enrolled

http://law.utk.edu/connect/statistics-a ... s-profile/

An +1 LSAT increase and a .1 GPA increase, with 66 fewer students.

Is that how it works?

Hmm. So that makes no sense, but I'll defer to your southern judgment. I could just picture one if the admins pointing to the "colored boys" over there by the law review suite and felt icky.

Maybe it has something to do with the phrasing. Maybe colored seems to imply that something has been done to them, that it's like an external characteristic, and people of color doesn't do that? I don't know, I just use whatever term they tell me they prefer.

It's called People-First Language and it's used to avoid dehumanizing the person.
It's PC to put the noun before the condition, and incorrect to put the condition before the noun when discussing people.

For example, I'm not a median-craving person; I'm a person who craves medians....and class sizes. :wink:
