Report: USNWR folding in December
NY Post's media reporter says internal memos show USNWR is done next month.
They will have "digital" content and 8 newstand only issues - my guess is those are the various rankings guides
IS THIS THE END OF THE T14?!?!?!?!?!!?

It really is amazing that a soon to be defunct news journal holds this much sway in the process.

Re: Report: USNWR folding in December
I would LOVE if the rankings went away.
Then everyone can stop this ridiculousness of trying to differentiate between NYU and Chicago or Duke and Michigan as if the differences were cut-and-dry and objectively measurable. It has gotten out of hand.

Meh, then people will just squabble over a .0XX% difference in NLJ250 placement. It will never end.DiscoveryDeadline wrote:I would LOVE if the rankings went away.

....Does this mean law school admissions won't be a numbers game anymore? Will they actually care about more than LSAT+GPA?

If US News rankings go away, something else will replace them. Too many people have too much invested in the rankings to let them disappear.

USNWR isn't folding, they are just streamlining to include only the thing that makes them profitable. The rankings won't die so long as we believe in them. It's sort of like Freddy Kreuger, in that regard.

There will always be a rankings, and it will always generally resemble the system the USNWR currently uses.

Exactly. Let's hope so. Without rankings, we might have to actually do some research before we decide where we want to spend 3 years of our lives.vanwinkle wrote:There will always be a rankings, and it will always generally resemble the system the USNWR currently uses.

On the contrary, they're shifting focus to the rankings guides.
