WUSTL did not get nearly enough criticism ITT for massively increasing class size when their employment stats sucked as it is.

That horse is long since dead and beaten.

Half of TLS seems to go there so it ducks a lot of criticism it rightfully deserves, like increasing class size 40% when two thirds of the class already has no prayer at Biglaw. Good for them for throwing $$$ around but it's still not a school anyone should attend without a full ride and a deadset focus on practicing in St. Louis.

yep. one of the biggest trap schools in the country

Not sure this is fair. Also WashU feeds into Chicago and other markets aside from St Louis very regularly.

Any school that increases the class size by more than 10% ITE should be publicly decried, unless they already place ~90% of graduates into desirable jobs.

Like this. The Central PA market probably only has 50 law jobs per year. This is nuts.

Yeah, that's not a good look PSU.

Actually thought they had some momentum going forward with the new building, and severance of ties with that other campus. I'm assuming they could have increased their numbers also if they weren't chasing the almighty $. For shame, Penn State.

No, enrollment is 318. 270 day plus 48 evening.

Really nice hold for them.

yes nice hold with significant enrollment decline, which is needed in the bloated California market.

3.77 and 3.85? Wtf. That seems really high for the prospects.

Sup Lurker, I will be creating the BYU applicants thread ASAP, if you're into that sort of thing.

Lots of people want to go to BYU for religious reasons, so there are going to always be people that could go somewhere else choose BYU instead. Impressive +1 median though if those stats are correct.

It blows my mind that nobody has centered Harvard's 25th on the spreadsheet yet.

The +1 LSAT median is accurate. Source: Dean of admissions last Friday.

Agreed, but I think only 1 person (or very few people) has editing access to the spreadsheet. Why we haven't given whitespider access to edit is beyond me.
