Re: Cooley
Don't worry about it, when you post your own rankings because you claim that an outside ranking system lacks "objectivity," and then you rank your tier 4 school (12) above:DubPoker wrote:edit: I honestly thought it was too awesome to not have been posted already, but I have not seen it and I've been lurking for a while
14. University of California-Los Angeles
16. University of Pennsylvania
18. Stanford University
20. University of California-Berkeley
27. Duke University
31. University of Chicago
43. Vanderbilt University
45. Cornell Law School
It never gets old. Honestly, I laugh every time I see this. Thanks.

Re: Cooley
Isn't a 123 basically just slightly above the bare minimum score possible?serdog wrote:you need a lest 143 for full time but part time you only need and index of 91 which would be a min of 127 with a 4.33 if you pick restricted part time you would need a 123 with a GPA of 4.33 so 123 is the floor at Cooley

most um grads don't practice in a2.

Re: Cooley
I dont know the answer. But neither grade will give you a chance at a law job in Michigan. Frankly, the Cooley degree in general will ensure your resume's prompt placement in the recycling bin.traehekat wrote:Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what Cooley curves to? B? B-?

Re: Cooley
That's 2.7 at graduation. Considering their double-digit attrition rate, I'm guessing 1L classes are curved below that.traehekat wrote:Actually was able to find it on NALP. 2.7 if anyone is curious, which is between a B and B- at Cooley.NoJob wrote:I dont know the answer.

Re: Cooley
I would never go to Cooley and it's easy to rag on the school on an Internet forum but I'm sure that there are some cool people and personalities at that school nonetheless.
Hell, with the Cooley reputation behind your back there's a lot of pressure to be on top of your game

No, but that isn't much of the USNWR rankings either.

Do you really think that "number of chairs in the library" is a more valid metric than a survey of what judges and lawyers think of the school?Fourth, its rankings that it uses is frankly no more bogus than that ranking used by USNWR. Who is to say that Cooley's rankings aren't more valid?

Re: Cooley
No. I actually care greatly about what lawyers and judges (read: employers) think of my degree, and was making the point that that criterion is really the only intrinsically relevant (from the law students' perspective) one in the USNWR metric.TJISMYHERO wrote:Are you trying to say you go to Cooley?flcath wrote:No, but that isn't much of the USNWR rankings either.

Unfortunately for Cooley-ites, this factor does not weigh in their favor, either... thus the resort to library square footage, chairs, closets, staff, toilets, etc.

Re: Cooley
I'm not one for shitting on schools (especially schools that already get shit on a lot), but apparently if you are a student and Cooley and you want to review your old exams with your professor, it costs you $10 to get a copy of the blue book. Never heard of something like this. Is it normal to charge students to review exams?
