Date: March 12th, 2026 11:18 AM Author: Avocado Roommate Base Like everything else here, these are fraudlies too in that:
(a) They discount non-attorney/"JD Advantatage" jobs in their calculations. So people who get very selective (and prestigious) jobs in banking, finance, tech, MBB, etc. drag down their school's number.
(b) They count jobs the schools fully fund for their unemployed grads, which the schools fund just long enough to count in the rankings. |

Date: March 12th, 2026 12:55 PM Author: Avocado Roommate Base Interesting. Let's check the link above: "The 100% weighted jobs were those who had a full-time job that lasted at least a year and for which bar passage was required, or a full-time job that lasted at least a year where a J.D. degree was an advantage.... Less weight went to full-time, long-term jobs that were professional or nonprofessional and did not require bar passage."

|
Date: March 12th, 2026 11:22 AM Author: Avocado Roommate Base The schools game selectivity too. E.g., yield protection. Harvesting applications.
The best metrics are:
(a) Cross-admit data, especially cross-admit data adjusted for finanical/merit aid packages. 90% of Harvard-UVA cross admits will choose Harvard, despite these latest rankings. I recall hearing back in the day that Yale's yield was 75%, Harvard and Stanford's 50%, and everyone else way, way lower than 50%.
(b) Reputation rankings from judges and lawyers. |
