Schools that will drop in the 2008 US NEWS rankings...

[ksigman123]

I think UF will drop...LSAT average FELL to a 159...from a 161/2 last year...

Tulane will drop ever so slightly I think. SMU might as well. Houston will continue downward as will Baylor.

[bass]

stanford, columbia, stanford, duke, stanford, ucla.  Oh, and stanford.

[H4CS]

stanford, columbia, stanford, duke, stanford, ucla.  Oh, and stanford.

Amazingly, I agree with all of these, but you forgot Stanford and Penn.

[my 2 cents]

75th Percentile LSAT: 161
Median LSAT: 159
25th Percentile LSAT: 155

UF dropping is a safe bet. Going to a 400 person class is going to hurt the school tremendously. No way they ever get back up to numbers from a 200 person class

harvard.

Hey, you aren't allowed to bag on Harvard anymore. We know you sold out!

shhhhhh.  I only sell out after tony stock calls me.

So we have the obvious drops (Columbia, Penn, Standford) what about the Thomas Cooley's; the schools on the clear upswing?


What would you do if TC ended up in tier 2 this next cycle?

Stanford stays above Harvard, but NYU falls one spot to tie with Chicago.  Penn stays the same.  Michigan falls one spot.

maybe they would stop publishing their own rankings?
