2018 USNWR Rankings Forum

[slurp]

people still salty that its now the T13. Then you have the UT/GT/UCLA/VANDY group. The only meaningful distinction anymore is the T13 and then the strong regionals 14-18ish

Gulc is now t20 with vandy, ut, UCLA, and USC - all schools that haven't dropped out of t20 with the exception of UCLA once in like 1995

We patriotic UT alums are in the midst of an information and fake news war with the sad, sad GULC alums. Sometimes there are casualties. t-13 fake news. UT is T-10.

Crooked Cornell got it's hand on this leaked information before anyone else did, which is why it went on its very very unfair massacres this cycle! Sad!

Quoting just because it was so good it needed to be posted again. Well done.

the its blemish ruins it

Implying POTUS wouldn't make that mistake?

I hated writing that

Hahah i caught that after I posted and was like.....should've added another typo to make it more realistic

[candidlatke]

we should just take a page from the b-school book and make it the T7 cuz let's be real which of the mid t-14's hasn't taken a trip to the GUL(c)AGS in recent history

maybe T8 since uva's usually been a good boy

[Thelaw23]

13 is such an unlucky number though

Thoughts on the veracity of these leaked rankings? Hope we're not getting punk'd

Spivey has been a trusted source for several years.
Georgetown is probably trying to bribe USNWR before official release though, so anything could happen!

USNWR had grown increasingly frustrated with Spivey's unauthorized leaks, so they did indeed leak fake rankings this year in the hope of destroying his credibility in future years. But, hey, let's give the Texas, Washington & Lee, and Penn (State) trolls their moment in the sun.

Is there anyone here who is applying this cycle that thinks these new rankings will impact their ultimate decision?

At least reconsider Berkeley given the big swing momentum and the bad press from the Milo news.

Are you saying you are doing this or that you think other folks will?

Others.
You got to learn the lesson from Georgetown and assess who is the next most likely fallout.

I hear that Harvard in an effort to get its class size closer to Yale and Stanford is splitting into Harvard A and Harvard B. That will take the number back to T-14.

[SNightHighlights]

Not that it actually changes how different the schools are, but funny to see Chicago and NU improve while literally every other Illinois school falls.

They're both private schools in the midst of a state that refuses to fund its public institutions. Not really a surprise IMO.

The other 4 law schools in the city are all private too...

What isn't real? The leaks are "real" in the sense that USNWR let information out early. But the leaked information is not accurate—i.e., it does not reflect the 2018 rankings that USNWR will actually publish.

Where you getting your "mis-information" info from?

Will GULC's drop affect admissions at all in the upcoming cycle (2017-2018)? GULC is my top choice so I'm curious.

For better or worse (depending on your perspective), these are real.

You would think us news would not want this info leaked early.... especially to the same guy twice in a row.

4 years in a row for me. But many more -- I think someone mentioned as many as 16. Do you not think it is part of their strategic plan on this?

No. GULC is taking all comers, getting whatever cash they can before the whole sorry charade comes crashing down
