[Jules Winnfield]

Some of the schools in your "overrated" list should be in your "underrated" list. I'm just sayin'...

[Kronk]

Overrated:

Columbia (declining TTT, NYU stealing all their professors)
Harvard (degree mill)
GULC (see above)

Underrated:

Cornell (great location)
Boalt (practical hands-on lawyer training in CA as opposed to Stanford's airy-fairy approach)

Those schools are all inherently overrated since they are called law schools.

[MC Southstar]

The colts are overrated, they always blow it in the end.

[D. H2Oman]

Boalt and Cornell are overrated, look at the numbers of their latest entering class

No, way idiot. Those schools look beyond the numbers. One or two LSAT points don't really make a difference anyways. Boalt and Cornell look at the whole applicant.

[Helmholtz]

Overrated:

Stanford (seriously, where is this school? nobody knows, but I think it's in California, who cares)
Berkeley (California, what else do I need to say)
Chicago (because it's a TTT state public school)
Vanderbilt (good luck living in the south the rest of your life, yuck)
Duke (Ann Coulter went there)
Michigan (a half hour drive from Detroit, seriously, who's idea was that?)
UCLA (tuition will be $70k/yr by 2015, I'm calling it)

Underrated:

Yale (they're great, they literally give out diamonds to students)
Harvard (should be tied at #0 with Yale)
NYU (yeah, another public state school, but I like their hustle and Obama used to teach there, so....)
Georgetown (more classmates than you can count, how awesome is that)

Dude, seriously? Those %s are out of date already, and seriously skewed. NU is obviously the worst T11.

LOL, GTFO bro. That's all a bullshit way of justifying their sub-par numbers.

You disgust me. It's people like you that have led to this ridiculous overly number focused process of law school admission. Because Berkeley's LSAT median is a point or two lower, that means they are producing less capable lawyers?????? That's absurd, and racist.
