Anyone think that the drop on their 75th for LSAT is welcoming news for splitters this cycle?

Wonder if their median stayed at or dropped from 164.

Yes! Very well done A&M! I told a buddy to transfer there after a subpar 1L in Brooklyn. Texas is his target market, but my advice went unheeded.

I started sweating when I read this. Here's to hoping he's there on a full ride at least.

Negative. He's in trouble. And the rent. God, the rent.

In a way, it sort of makes sense. Most of these third tier law schools have little to no endowment, but still maybe have a little bit of give in their LSAT medians where they're safe if they drop a few points in bar passage. The only way to maintain revenues while offering enough of a discount to draw students is to balloon class size while keeping faculty steady.

It might mean we see Tier 3 eat up most of the people that can actually pass the bar while Tier 4 collapses. In a way, for law students, it's kind of like plugging one hole while a leak springs elsewhere.

As we keep seeing, bar passage rates are cratering.

I still find it funny that the person who heads the NCBE has never sat for Bar Exam.

Isn't U San Diego second Tier? They are normally ranked in the 70s. Aren't 50-100 second tier?
