Can you imagine how terrible their yield might be this year?
I can see a bunch of students choosing not to attend now that GULC got hit so hard. It really is the T13 now.

I can already tell I'm going to regret asking this, but what happens when/if Texas moves up even further in the rankings? What exactly gets everyone's undies in a bunch over Texas being T14?

The difference between Texas and Cornell or NW is pretty significant. I don't see that happening any time soon

Agree if you're referring to national reach, but I think employers who have differential grade cutoffs based on T10, T14, everyone else might expand T14 to T15. One would have to figure this is a statement of UT's merits as much as an "indictment" of GULC - I'm sure US News fully appreciates the symbolism of elevating UT to undisputed 14.

Employers have T10 differentials? How do they maintain that?

No one cares about rankings year to year in the real world. It takes a long time for prestige to change among employers. UT isn't going to suddenly start placing 70% in BL+ fed clerkships because they moved into the 14th slot this year

My argument pertains to the opportunity to be placed. People may take a more liberal view on arbitrary grade cutoffs to coincide with the respect UT has been building over years.

I'm just still glad NYU didn't top CLS.

There can only be one best school in NY muhahaha.

It's currently undergoing multiple revisions by both the T13 and T14 camps. A Wikipedia moderator will soon settle things.

The FACTS are on T13's side.

I find alcohol and bitter cynicism have done me well thus far.

Is it accurate to regard the current top 13 as "T13?" Northwestern was ranked 14 in 1996 and 1997. Cornell was 14 in 1995. UVA was 14 in 1994

UT has a much weaker argument than T13 if this is the definition we're going to use. UT wasn't even T25 in 1998 so what name could we give to encompass all school movement for the group

That's a rather large if considering it was pulled out of thin air today

People used T13 before today, but now the term might go ~mainstream~

I was always under the assumption T14 came from "every school has been ranked at least 14 forever"

But then wouldn't we have to keep GULC in? I want the name to be accurate, but I want to spite them way more.

Yeah, T13 is fine in my book. The school I intend to go to pending no craziness is in either way

Could the lack of UT's national reach be self-selecting? Aka, since Texas has such an insular market (from what I've read), could it be possible that students go to UT wanting only Texas BigLaw? From what I've seen, the firms in Houston/Dallas/Austin seem to hire their own.

(Correct me if I'm totally wrong. Ignorant 0L only familiar with St. Louis and Chicago over here).

Then we would have to call it the "ESHBRAL14F" instead of the Top 14.
