I found this site that ranks the median salaries for graduates per law school 10 months out of graduation. How much weight should be put on this when deciding where to go? Are these statistics accurate/reliable?

Re: School Graduate Salaries
These are "accurate" but I wouldn't put a ton of weight on them because they depend on alumni self-reported data. They're also just kind of uninteresting because they basically just tell your 1) whether a decent number (not necessarily 51%, because it would only capture the people going private-sector) of people get biglaw and 2) what kind of metro area people end up in, which is probably the biggest factor driving the public-sector numbers.camru wrote:I found this site that ranks the median salaries for graduates per law school 10 months out of graduation.
