2006 USNEWS Rankings - Here it is

[mschuell]

Well, at first I really didn't want to leave CA and if Pepperdine is actually showing an upward trend at this rate, it might be a good idea to stay. When they were 99, you never knew if they were going to drop off into T3. A 40 place difference between 2 schools (UHLC v. Pepperdine) is a hell-of-a-lot more significant than 12 places. It's enough to give pause when the 2 schools you're really considering are heading in different directions (according to USNews).

Fair enough, and I see where you are coming from..it just seems to me that these rankings are so damn volatile that there is a danger in assuming a upward or downward trend from a year or so.

I thought Santa Clara was U of SC?  What does U of SC stand for?

what Happened to Santa Clara and the USF (University of San Francisco) did they both become T3's??

Wow, makes me want to re-consider my CA schools . . . if only they gave me more $$$.

Are you really going to reconsider your schools based on these rankings?  Do you really think the schools you are looking at changed that much in a year?  I understand these are influentual, but I wouldn't let today's rankings change your mind if you have already decided on a school.

maybe she shouldnt have decided 6 years before deposits were due and all decisions were in.  just a thought.

My decision affects other people than just me. I cannot expect my husband to give little notice and still have his job. Not everyone is a lone wolf in this process.

41. George Mason, Tulane, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, UMD

Guess George Mason can no longer boast about being the fastest rising LS in America . . . it bugged me how they printed that over and over again in their literature.

If the 50-100 rankings are true, I'm surprised that Temple and Cardozo fell.  Even though Pitt fell, it's still 13 places ahead of Temple... huh.

Case moved up too.  Good for them!

SH*T....Looks like Toledo fell back to TTT.  They managed to go from fourth tier to a 90-something spot in the 2005 rankings... now they appear to have fallen-from-grace.

They went from tier 4 to 9os in a year?? And then fell back to Tier 2? What is going on over there?

[adverseeffect]

I sure hope that it's true.  Yes!! PENN!! (not that I don't love the Michigan trolls on this site)
