Where is Thomas Cooley?
In all seriousness though, how the hell did Hawaii go up 15 spots? So many ties too. A lot of movement all over the place. I wonder if US News messed with their formula.
Also, does anyone know what schools dropped out of the top 100?

I'm just totally flabbergasted. I think that all the anti-Penn, Pro-Berkeley trolling did it  And this is, perhaps irrationally, making me a bit nervous about post-graduation career stuff...

Boalt has the lowest acceptance rate, highest employment rate, and a comparatively high GPA. I remember reading somewhere that a higher median GPA will do more for your USN rank than will a couple of LSAT points.

I like how they put Northwestern out of alphabetical order just to make it look like a more dramatic shift. Clever.
Also, I'd bet big money that USN leaked this early to quiet the reaction to Vault's rankings release. Also clever.

Can someone with a better monitor than me tell me whether that's Cincinnati or UCONN at 52? All I can see is a Ublur of Cblur.
