Because real life != message boards full of circle-jerking striver moms who couldn't afford (or couldn't get their kid into) private college and do nothing but wax on and on about how amazing their kid's public U is. In real life, the smartest kids at Virginia, Berkeley, UCLA and Michigan are JEALOUS of their friends at elite private colleges.

Says someone with pea brain.

DP, but I do partially agree with the PP's sentiment (though I would never say it like that). Although the jealousy seems significantly less pronounced at UCLA and Michigan and much, much more at Berkeley and UVA.

Pre-med forums are full of third and fourth year undergrads at huge state schools wishing they were at an elite private and comparing how much more help their friends at prestige privates receive. But ignorance is bliss, of course. Rah-rah, go team go!

We shouldn't be so harsh on UC/UC Law if Yale/YLS are doing it as well. Safe bet Harvard and Penn are doing it too?

Or Princeton and Princeton law for that matter!

This board is frequented by idiots. Every single top law school admits and enrolls more of its own undergraduates than any other school. It's not a Chicago or Yale phenomenon.

WSJ is a list i’d Not want to be on top. It factors in environment, whatever that is. The easier the program, the happier the students. I’d be ashamed to come out on top. It’s kind of like Saturday Night College Ranking.

Or sub-par HYP prestige defense squad who believed that Princeton had a law school...

Literally nobody? Do you know what “literally” means?

West Point and Navy are around T50.

This list is made by WSJ and Times of London. I don’t think the UK people know much about the US schools.l. It looks as if they didn’t bother googling to learn about the schools they are ranking.

U like that it combines LAC's. I just think some of you feel LACs are better than they actually are. It's not the 90's anymore. The national privates have passed them.

Poster of the additional schools...don't quite understand the discrepancy between the Service academies and including 54. Florida, TEN publics higher than UVA.

Much more accurate than USNWR. Columbia is #16 in the WSJ rather than highly inaccurate #2 in USNWR.

Relying on UK foreigners to rank US schools is like Americans ranking UK schools. This is on the same level as an American hick ranking oxford at #16 using some weird methodology.
