NYU is a perfectly respectable place, but CLS is, well, CLS no matter what. don't worry; you will be very happy at NYU anyway.

It just doesn't seem right to me. I'm thinking they might have been expecting the drop, and that's why they've made such efforts to up their #'s for next year. That's been my prediction all along! I'm sure they were expecting it. Not that this influences my decision to attend. After an initial moment of slight disappointment (though the fact that it was a T20 never impressed people who are impressed by these types of things anyway), it hasn't really influenced me either.

I really hope that everyone on this board realized that within the "clusters" shifts are going to happen and don't really mean that much. If any of you read the article mentioned earlier in this thread from the Loyola professor on these rankings, you would remember how much the ranking for a school can fluctuate based on numbers changing for an entirely different school. Outside of the top 15 or so schools, you should be looking at schools in a region you want to practice. I suppose all of this talk is in good fun, but saying "OMG! OMG! UVA fell two spots to #10..." is going overboard. Next year, they might be tied for #7 with Michigan and Boalt could be 10. Doesn't change a single thing about how the school is regarded in the community or the quality of the school for that matter.
