This is the kind of high-quality drama the forums need.

But out of sheer curiosity, is this really all tied to the bar passage changes? Or did something else shift in the USNWR methodology?

I saw someone say they incorporated graduate debt, but haven’t checked so that could be totally wrong.

This reminds me of when gulc fell out of the t14.

I see they have been quietly restored.

Bar passage, maybe, but LSAT score inflation is probably the biggest culprit here. LSAT's component of the methodology is z-scored, so if 173 and 171 become 174 and 172 then the gap, for rankings purposes, has actually narrowed between Chicago and Harvard.

Also worth mentioning is the USN formula's structural bias in favor of small schools pretty much guaranteed that Chicago would steal a march on Harvard sometime in the next decade or so (and is why Stanford overtook them earlier and why Yale was always #1 even last century), so long as they kept spending money.

do you think this is momentary or more long-term?
