I was just curious if anyone had a ranking for the worst schools in the US. Ive heard Cooley is really bad, but havent heard of any other really shitty schools. What are the bottom 5 or so? Also, at what point is a school labeled TTTT instead of TTT??

Tier Four is now labeled "Second Tier" by USNews. The top 146 law schools are now lumped together by US News.

Traditionally, the Top 50 are Tier One,

51-100 = Tier Two,

101-150 = Tier Three

with the remaining 45-50 law schools comprising Tier Four.

Add Nova for sure. But really, you shouldn't care about the difference between TTT and TTTT. That's like asking the difference between dying slowly and dying not quickly.

Cooley, TJSoL, Touro, or most schools with the name "Southern, Western, Northern..." as part of their name.

I think there's a law school in Peurto Rico that takes last scores in the 130s.

Yrs, but they all get a URM bump, so it's equivalent to a 150

does cooley even offer scholarships? or do they just take everyone who applies and make them pay an arm and a leg to attend?

Mess around in lawschonumbers.com and you'll get a pretty good sense on where you'd fit, brah.

Go to lawschoolnumbers.com and lawschoolpredictor.com and put in your potential numbers.

What is your GPA and what are your LSAT PT scores looking like?

Best case scenario: you find a winning lottery ticket and don't need to go to law school
Best case scenario: you take on $250k+ debt to go to TTTTT end up last in your class, descent into alcoholism, become homeless and star in bum fighting YouTube videos

I think the PR schools don't emphasize LSAT as much because Spanish is lingua franca down there and the LSAT is administered in English, so they realize the dense LSAT language might be difficult for those who aren't as familiar with English and isn't really as indicative of the ability to study law in PR. The GPA requirements for those PR schools are 3.6+ if I'm correct and all the classes are taught in Spanish.

Every "stand-alone" law school NOT named Southwestern;

every law school tied to a college or university not in the national top-125;

every law school conceived after 1995 NOT named UC-Irvine;

every law school facetiously located near, in or around New England but NOT named Harvard, Yale, BU, BC, Vermont, Uconn, UMass, or Suffolk;

every law school in the state of Illinois NOT named Northwestern, U-Chicago, Illinois, Chicago-Kent or Loyola-Chicago;

every Loyola other than those from Chicago and L.A.;

most law schools connected to schools without top football or basketball programs;

every law school in Texas not named U-Texas-Austin, Baylor, SMU, or Houston;

every law school in Florida NOT named Florida State, U-Florida or Miami;

almost every law school tied to a Big-12 Athletic conference college/university;

every law school with fewer than 10 black people, except for UC-Irvine (correlation not causation);

I could go on, but...
