Drexel & ABA approval

[cvs114]

I'm not sure if anyone has posted anything on this site about this... but does anyone know anything about drexel and the status of its ABA approval? I heard they are expecting to be approved this Feb of 08. Anyone know anything???


predicitons on where they will rank ---?

[TrumpWho??]

My guess is that they will be tier 4.

Is it that soon?  I thought they couldn't be approved until their first class graduated, which I don't think is until 2009.

Anyway, I have no doubt in my mind that they will be approved.  They have some outstanding faculty and the Dean is top-notch as well, plus Drexel overall is a very respectable institution.  I think they are doing everything they can/must to get accredited.

In terms of ranking, I would predict they will be somewhere between 75-100, and in a couple years will be up there with Temple and Villanova.  Tier 3 at the lowest.  I think saying they will be Tier 4 might be a little harsh.

I may be wrong but from what I have read when a school becomes ABA approved they always start as a tier 4 school. There is not much to rank them on.

I heard they would be ranked probably around the same as Temple and Nova. Ive heard amazing things the ABA approval just worries me...


I know they are offering a lot of scholarships and I have a lot of friends who have high numbers and are attending drexel for free.

I wonder what tier Princeton would start at if they ever wanted to open a law school.

Drexel is my undergrad and I worked with the schools law school advisor during my application process. From what i understand in speaking with him, the law schol will have approval by Febuary and the feeling is it will be on par with temple and nova

'Nova and Temple are both at #60.

my bad i didnt get that Nova was short for villanova. Thought you were talking about Nova SW and I was really confused.

A word of caution... Although Temple and Villanova are close in the rankings, Temple is far, far supreme in Philadelphia.  There is no reason (other than a large scholarship with no chance to lose it) to choose Nova over Temple.  You should not even consider Drexel over the other two.
