Everyone tried to slap some sense into the kid, but it didn't work.

That is one of the most depressing things I've read in a while.

There are ways to respectively respectfully give advice, and these are not them.

Nice try. If it was me I would not have worded it so respectively to the sack of douche bags that you failures in life are!

At least we aren't going to pay sticker for Cardozo looking to get biglaw.

Don't get too excited about catching my spelling mistakes. I'm typing while watching the Miami game. Truth be told, I should stop wasting time responding to such losers and just enjoy the game. chow!

Wait, so you weren't being sarcastic when you used "respectively" the second time? Oh, so you're just an idiot.

Hasn't this thread pretty much run its course? Two year old data, easily manipulable, that you can read any way you like. Has little to no effect on the prospects of current and future students.

Actually it's seriously making Cornell look good in my eyes. Call me dumb and gullible but ranking #2 doesn't seem too fluke like to me. It shows that Cornell can at least do as well as most other t14 schools.

It's this year's sleeper, that's for damn sure.

I think it shows that Cornell has one target market, and it happens to be the only market where you had any chance of a job ITE. It's not rocket science, but if that's enough to rocket it up someone's list, so be it.

True national schools didn't fare quite as well in this metric. Not surprising.

This data is old (though not entirely since c/o 2010 just graduated in May), but it's not easily manipulated at all. This isn't like USNWR rankings; it's raw numbers of students from each graduating class that are actually working at NLJ250 firms.

Only true national schools are HYS and I believe a lot of them self select out of biglaw which explains why they didn't do so well.

This also. Calling NLJ250 firm data manipulable makes you lose credbility and makes you sound like you have no clue what you are talking about.

[mrwarre85]

Anyway to see how many individuals place in these firms from T2/T3? Or, is it just here is the best 50 and that's it. Thanks.

[wiseowl]

Before I get slaughtered by the way, my post re:Cornell not being a true national school was tongue in cheek.

I think the data is manipulable in that you can read it any way you like. As has been mentioned, schools with small class sizes get slaughtered here because even 10 people who made OCI mistakes, went PI, started a business, or did anything else not NLJ250 results in them plummeting down the list. If this were somehow corrected for class size, it would be much more useful.

When you go to HYS, I guess you realize that you can do literally anything you want and...well...

But Chicago and Cornell both have small class sizes.

[tgir]

I think what was meant is that, when you're comparing outcomes among small schools, tiny differences in how graduates dealt with the financial downtown at each school turn into huge differences in the percentages that ended up at NLJ250.
