Northeastern is seriously underrated.

Ther co-op program and no grade policy keeps them down.

I would have applied to NE if I got like 3 points higher and had money.

Actually, I think their co-op program boosts their ratings.  I'd say it's a combination of the no-letter-grade system, the PI focus (and thus lower salary stats), and their de-emphasis on numbers in the application process. 

Considering the excellent employment rate and the fact that the last MA bar passage rate was higher than any other school but Harvard, I'm really surprised their rank dropped last year.

Yeah, I think the coop helps them--it is key to getting them jobs.  Their lack of money, relatively short time of existence,and subpart name recognition hurt their student quality.

Yet another plug for my future alma mater....

How can Widener be 4th tier, but have a top-10 Health Law program?  It would seem that that alone would merit NOT being 4th tier.  That's ok, though.  I've always liked being the underdog.  Makes victory that much sweeter.
