5:18, he could do whatever the hell he wants if he is going to say that my school is ranked #4; (or, at least, if he is going to link to somebody who says so).

Hey L2L, time to dust off the old resume: you're top 25% at the #18 school in the country!

Dude, need content not volume. Most of the NS entries left me asking "Why the f**k did I just read that?" Poor.

7:33, Yale has plenty of shootings.

On the other hand, it is hard to take a "ranking system" seriously when the top school is put somewhere in the mid-30s.

I am from a school that placed remarkably high on this list, and I call bullcrap.
This is all based on self-reported information that apparently is not audited in any way...and how the hell could you audit some of the subjective soft factors that Princeton Review uses anyway?

How do study hours factor into rankings? The fewer hours the better the school, or vice versa?

as soon as they found out yale wasn't #1 they shoulda scrapped the methodology and started again.

indeed...i don't know of a single R-C law student who was a victim of crime the entire time i was there. I know of one female UG student who was assaulted (by a guy who was later shot and killed trying it on someone else).

oh noe5!!1!!! a ranking not reflecting conventional wisdom!!!

most of you readers are a bunch of conservative complaining losers. you hate change (unless that change means more money in your bank account) - anyone but Lat blogging is unacceptable, and yet you can't help but also complain about most of what Lat posts (unless its about more money). no wonder lawyers have such a shite reputation - you just like complaining and whinging.

Cornell students study so much, because there is nothing else to do in Ithaca.
