Intresting. hen 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?
? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Click on a school and read all of the info. It's right below public/private and year founded
Yeah this is really bizzare, most of the schools I'm looking at(state schools, TT's and TTT's) all have that National label. Yeah I'm curious about this.

Could it be that schools self-select? I don't think GSU spams across the US. Penn State though, ugh. Or maybe it's the students they attract.

This could be it. Seems weird US News wouldn't explain something like that though, as I can't imagine them seeing this as an obvious thing.

I think it's some bs metric like if you have 5 students from the opposite coast you're a national school or something

Or the percentage of grads who practice out of state.

Yeah, but it'd have to be pretty low either way. It seems every state school is national

Hey.. Penn State might not be a top ten school but they bought me a coffee so I'll gladly accept all their spam

To be fair, Columbia is located in an area with one of the nation's lowest COL, which helps offset the high tuition.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
