@CynicalOops: Muscles like oats!

Yeah, I had this annoying ass girl in one of my classes at UCLA who made that very well known and shot down any other ideas our group had and then my group got one of the lowest grades in the class but my instructor liked me so he changed my grade to an A and nobody elses.

Love that guy. Had a fat ass bottle of champagne with him at his house after I graduated.

https://excessofdemocracy.com/blog/2023/5/new-usnwr-methodology-will-yield-dramatically-more-compression-and-volatility-in-law-school-rankings do we think this is legit, i remember this guy posted rankings a while back and they were such bullshit

Dkk-BunnyFanClubMember001

19:01

@jackfrost11770: Yeah someone posted that earlier. It makes more sense than the current rankings.

Dkk-BunnyFanClubMember001

19:01

It's more legit to me

jackfrost11770

19:02

i do agree, i do think him tying every school is so funny

jackfrost11770

19:02

but that's how it is in the real rankings too so

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

19:02

@jackfrost11770: so now every school wants people who pass the bar first try and are employed within a year? WE chads eating well rn

cheriebomb

19:03

now why does having a higher cost of attendance help your ranking? kinda seems like we should disincentivize this

jackfrost11770

19:03

right .....

Dkk-BunnyFanClubMember001

19:03

Yeah, I would have to disagree with the financial bs in this report.

cheriebomb

19:04

it’s just bizarre. is the idea that students are willing to pay more for a higher quality school? surely it would be better to calculate cost effectiveness as the cost relates to job placement, bar passage rates, etc.

jackfrost11770

19:04

isn't it the opposite i remember reading that higher scholarship money or finaid helps your rankings on USNWR

jackfrost11770

19:05

or i mean those are two separate data points i suppose

19:09

they don’t mention cost of attendance or scholarships given as a considered factor in their methodology

cheriebomb

19:12

this guy is definitely trying to say something and wording it very poorly

cheriebomb

19:15

oh okay so his point is just that they used to consider expenditures per student as a factor, which helped H&Y bc they have greater endowments/higher tuition costs, and now they don’t and this will hurt them. and also that this is the only major self-reported factor that would have been affected by boycotting

Babyricotta45

19:15

why do US News rankings matter more than any other ranking

Babyricotta45

19:15

Genuine question

cheriebomb

19:16

I think because they have more access to lawyers, judges, etc. to evaluate peer opinions on law schools, access to data that other sources may not, and also have just been considered the authority for a long time

Babyricotta45

19:17

Interesting

https://abovethelaw.com/2011/02/latest-cooley-law-school-rankings-achieve-new-heights-of-intellectual-dishonesty/ they’re a standardized and allegedly impartial ranking system. law schools and outside sources sometimes try to create their own rankings to promote an agenda, ex: above
