It's underwhelming.

Underwhelming is an understatement

It's underwhelming.

As with all things law school related on Reddit (hey guys, see you in 15 minutes ) but the concept existed

[Kronk]

Reddit had a whole thread on Law Schools ranked by attractiveness of students, this argument can't be as bad as that one.

Who won?

I still think the most cringeworthy thread was on TLS...the "is it easier to hook up if I go to a more pretigious law school" post...

idk man all the scat porn really made me cringe a few years ago

So USNWR gave UVA and Mich. an 86, while giving Cornell an 82. Can someone explain the difference in scoring? I understand there are a number of components that US news takes into account, but curious what gives UVA and Mich. the edge in scoring.

Reputation scores, LSAT, median GPA, etc.

See this for reputation

Such a shock that Spivey was right and rpumpkin isn't.

Thanks for rubbing salt in the wound, Rigo. I've grown more than a little tired of you carrying Spivey's water.

I promise everyone this: never again will I rely on Berkeley and GULC adcomms for inside information about USNWR rankings.

Oh those were the two schools. Something tells me they were hoping if they told enough people that, it would become true.

Georgetown admins still disbelieving they are out of the t13. Now they are just like any other t20 school.

Tbh Georgetown hasn't been an elite school in terms of job employment for years. It's been the T13 for a while...

True that, but now its officially codified as the t13

Anyone got a flashy name for Georgetown, UT, UCLA, Vandy, WUSTL and USC? Maybe the second six?

There's no need for that, at all.

Thanks! I'll add to the OP.

Spivey if those were actually guesses I would hope you were booking a flight to Vegas lol

Thanks again for being an awesome source of info - especially during this turbulent cycle.

[LurkerTurnedMember]

That spivey guy was spot on. Wow. Good for him!

Intresting. When you click on schools and look at the info on the school, what do they mean by the "national" or "regional" designation?

For example, Penn State Dickinson Law has a "national" designation. UTK and Georgia State, on the other hand, have a "regional" designation. They all have around the same ranking (GSU and Dickinson are tied for the exact same ranking). It's not like one is viewed as a LS that places nationally, and the other as one that places regionally. I don't get it?
