[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is not everyone uses LinkedIn. [b]I know, for one, that I wouldn't be listed, as a recent grad from Harvard law, in these rankings' datapoints, because LinkedIn serves no purpose in my professional career.[/b] Do not use these rankings.[/quote]
[b]This seems much like saying "I wasn't polled, therefore the survey is invalid."[/b] This would represent the case with whichever law school you attended. That said, I'm not even sure where people are seeing College Transitions feeder lists through DCUM.[/quote]

+1. I hope this isn’t the type of reasoning they teach at Harvard law.

I wouldn’t fixate on the exact spot each school has in a ranking—because this type of analysis isn’t 100% exact—but there is nothing inherently wrong with combing through tens of thousands of LinkedIn profiles to find where people with certain jobs went to school. PeakFrameworks has a similar analysis for investment banking with slightly different firms and years looked at, and the results aren’t terribly different. It gives you a good general idea and is consistent with what schools are generally accepted as targets.[/quote]
