Add -1 GA State

[dk8]

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

thanks for this advice. i'm doing just fine as of now. i can no longer go to new york now that it's officially the t13, right?

[ArthurDigbySellers]

Ders alreddy a thred slowpoookezzzz

[panicunited]

pretty sure people stopped caring way before that

haha +1

[Cal4future]

Wow @ Davis.

[Fred_McGriff]

Florida has two T1s now, Miami is down a tad, they're ranking T3s, Villanova isn't the heaviest hit school out there, Chicago Kent flies up despite the market being heavy hit... what a list.

[McNulty]

William Mitchell -37? Wowzers. Anyone care to comment on that one?

[yngblkgifted]

So when we were all making up threads most put UVA jumping, at least a little. Realistically it didnt jump at all (even though its 9 instead of ten, it didnt jump anyone. Makes me sad.

Atleast now I can tell people that I will be attending a Top 9 school as opposed to a Top 10. Helps the ego a little, right? right?

Berkeley is no longer as appealing as it was this morning and Michigan looks much sexier tonite, just saying.

[panicunited]

Look at Georgia moving up last year into the T30 then back out to 35

[DeeCee]

American has been falling for a couple of years now, I've noticed. I wouldn't be surprised if they were T2 next year.

[rayiner]

Cue unwarranted Michigan trolling.

[Fred_McGriff]

William Mitchell -37? Wowzers. Anyone care to comment on that one?

The dean probably shouldn't. Just pack the bags and hit the links... no alum want's that.

[flcath]

They're ranking T3s now

Sweet.

I'm disappointed that they couldn't rank everyone. I assume the unranked schools refused to provide data? (not that I'd blame them)

I wish they'd ranked UCI.

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

thanks for this advice. i'm doing just fine as of now. i can no longer go to new york now that it's officially the t13, right?

If you are from the NYC area, you may be able to go back there. Otherwise I wouldn't count on it.

[trayball23]

penn state has been just flying up... anyone think it lands in top 50 soon?

[panicunited]

penn state has been just flying up... anyone think it lands in top 50 soon?

I say it levels out around 55. Wild guess

[lovejopd]

Anyone know when I can get the hard copy of ranking in the bookstore?

[Fred_McGriff]

William Mitchell's graduates known to be employed at graduation was 36.1%

[rayiner]

Texas at 14!!!

Is it now officially the T15 or the T13?

[Grizz]

Look at Georgia moving up last year into the T30 then back out to 35

Yeah it really sucks because Georgia firms only recruit at T30 schools.

+1, So true.

[get it to x]

I'm shocked St. John's dropped. Wow. Hofstra outranks it now. Although this probably won't change lay prestige which still places SJU above Hofstra this was unexpected. Hoped Rutgers would be able to push forward since I think it's a vastly underrated school. Oh well. Always next year.

[lovejopd]

What happened to all Laws schools in GA????

sorry only t13 schools are national. at all other schools you will have to wear one of these upon graduation, which will make it hard (if not impossible) to move outside of the region:
