I guess I can now become an advocate for the family dog through UVA - hope Fido pays well. Thank you for this Bob Barker.

Just so we're clear (as some of you have apparently forgotten), the "T14" refers to those schools that have placed, at one time or another, in the top 10.

Lol. This is not true; it's revisionist history promoted by GULCers when they foresaw their time coming to a close.

It means, literally, the "top 14" schools, as in, "the schools that are ranked in the top 14."

Sorry bro.

You are wrong about this. Stop talking out of your ass.

Bold prediction: Indiana a T20 within a few years

Giving lots of money + solid, growing, stable indy economy = good news for iu

I don't get the IUB placement. There not even cited on the NLJ Top 250 list. Honestly though, I'm more interested in NALP data than rankings. 60 offices just doesn't sound too impressive to me.

i'm headed to the registrar to drop out tomorrow.

[duckmoney]

Why are the employment statistics for class of 2008? Isn't it supposed to be 2009? Or is that a typo?

[panicunited]

Can you post the scores for the T14?

Yea, give me a second

[MrPapagiorgio]

What time zone?

There's only one time zone in the US.

(EST.)

Fail.

Unless this was egregious east coast trolling, Fail +180

is there anything up yet that shows how many places each school moved in the rankings?

[HarveyBirdman]

OMFG WASHBURN NOW RANKED 140!!!!!1111

[dcwumpus]

Michigan State now T2. I'm surprised it is rated so much higher than Wayne State (121 overall). They seem relatively equivalent, with emphases in separate sides of the state.

(Late warning: if you're not from Michigan, or considering one of these schools, you will not give a crap about this reply.)

My thoughts exactly. Within the state, my sense was always that Wayne was considered to be the better of the two schools. Regardless, some nice bumps for two big Michigan schools makes me very happy.

Davis is killin it.

If you are in the top quarter and content with practicing in the DC area, there is no reason to drop out.

This information is of the utmost importance because firms look at this exact measurement when deciding where to OCI.
