Now anyone who goes there is going to be stuck in some TTT job! if this is a dig at my post i don't know that its neccesary. if i'm going to invest 160K in a degree, i want to pick a stock thats rising or staying the same, not falling. and thats not to say that UT is not a good school because it fell two places this year. but looking at the data over time i'm not as sure in my "investment" there as i would be at other schools. especially if one is out of state and is counting on the national reputation.I think the point is that the job market for UT won't magically shrivel, even if it fell into the 20s. Employers know UT. That's all that matters.

Quote from: Sooner on March 27, 2007, 02:40:50 PM8 schools in the top 10 have to settle for ties. Stupid.Current methodology sucks. Everyone knows NYU is not > Columbia and Chicago, Penn is not equal to Chicago, and Duke is not equal to UVA.The reputation ratings are reality. What methodology is this based on? I'm assuming reputation ratings, since they're reality. So the quality of a school now is determined by people who haven't been to law school in 30 years? Why is that a better indicator?

Now anyone who goes there is going to be stuck in some TTT job! true dat/i'll take their spotthat was my FIRST thought when i saw it. I thought "wow. it's possible that someone might actually choose another school over Texas because of this. I might get in off the wait list!" Because I'll certainly take Texas over the new 16th ranked schools.
