Date: April 28th, 2004 11:59 AM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm This may be the case, but isn't 15 just a better cut-off than 14? If we start choosing numbers at random, why don't we just cut it all off at 9? how about 7? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317059) |

Date: April 28th, 2004 12:08 PM Author: Cyan filthy nursing home 15 is just as random as 14.

Date: April 28th, 2004 12:10 PM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm How do you figure? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317209) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:12 PM Author: Cyan filthy nursing home What's so special about 15? It's a multiple of 5? Well 14 is a multiple of both 2 and 7. Is there something inherent about multiples of 5 that makes it especially useful for dividing schools into rankings? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317229) |

Date: April 28th, 2004 12:13 PM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm Yep. We have five fingers...it's easier to count with our fingers!
Also, why do other rankings cut off their tiering at multiples of 5? (e.g. 50 (T1), 51-100 (T2), the rest TTT)?
It's just the standard everywhere else. I don't see why you guys find it necessary to change it, unless you GULC kids want to make yourselves feel a little special seeing as how you're not in the T10 (another multiple of 5)! |
|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:15 PM Author: Cyan filthy nursing home You may feel this way but using multiples of 5 is still completely random. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317269) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:17 PM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm Well, I guess USNews pays people to choose random numbers for their rankings. When will you GULC kids learn that Texas is just as good. At this level, we're just splitting hairs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317294) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:18 PM Author: Cyan filthy nursing home I happen to agree with you. In my opinion, it's just as good.
But I don't feel it's just as good because I have some preconceived notion about using multiples of 5. |
|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:19 PM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm I see your point. I just wanted to know why T14 was used instead of T15. Thanks for your feedback. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317313) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:21 PM Author: Cyan filthy nursing home It has to do with historical U.S. News rankings. With only one or two exceptions, the T14 has remained constant. That doesn't mean that U.S. News is not frought with methodological weaknesses. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317333) |
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:00 PM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm Subject: I'll give it a try... TEXAS!
UCLA!
NOT IN T14!

Date: April 28th, 2004 12:00 PM Author: Indigo party of the first part blood rage There is no reason. If you look at the numbers, the gap between #13 Boalt and #14 GULC is a good deal greater than the difference between #14 GULC and #15 Texas.
But, honestly, who cares? I picked Texas over Top 14 schools. Its not like real law firms talk about "The Top 14" and recognize some huge gap between 14 and 15. |

Date: April 28th, 2004 12:08 PM Author: Indigo party of the first part blood rage I dont think I'm a troll! I had the choice just in the last 2 weeks and chose Texas over top 14 schools after doing the research. Doesn't that make me a particularly good person to comment on these issues? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317174) |

Date: April 28th, 2004 12:07 PM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm True. Texas is a great school, and I'd be attending it in the fall except for the fact that I was accepted to a T5 school. If not for that, I most likely would've seen you in class.
As for UCLA...they cashed my application fee AGES AGO and still no response. It's a moot point now, but what's the hold up? |
|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:26 PM Author: charismatic point There is a difference in how deep firms will go into the class. There are jobs for the middle at top 14 schools that are not available to the middle at Texas.

Date: April 28th, 2004 12:24 PM Author: concupiscible friendly grandma mad cow disease My understanding is that there's always been disagreement about which school would be the 15th. There's no dispute on what the top 14 are, but is #15 Texas? UCLA? Somebody else? There's no consensus and in terms of the actual rankings it changes from year to year. Ergo...

|
Date: April 28th, 2004 12:27 PM Author: Stimulating Harsh Pisswyrm But Texas has been ranked at 15 for many years now. Why not just accept the fact they're 15? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=19306&forum_id=2#317396) |
