Isn't UMD ranked a lot higher.

No??

Yes.

7 places is not a *LOT* and besides that the new rankings are pretty much meaningless and UMD has never been ranked higher than W&M in the history of USNews. Unless you think a school's diversity measures make it stronger at pre-law advising it's absolutely meaningless. Look at UG teaching rankings instead - W&M is #6, UMD is unranked.

UMD ranks higher than W&M

No, not for undergrad and certainly not for law schools. W&M Law is ranked at 36. UMD law (Carey at Baltimore) is ranked at 55. My DC firm hires from W&M Law. It has never hired from UMD https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/law-rankings?_sort=my_rankings-asc
