[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's unclear what effect the recent actions of Yale & others re: not cooperating with USNWR will have on this, but, in the past, law schools have been very sensitive to rankings & compete for the highest GPAs & LSAT scores.  It's not like undergraduate where you only get merit for schools that are lower ranked than the schools you're qualified for.

A top law school will provide merit for a kid with top LSAT scores.  I've helped my law school recruit top students and have seen law schools basically get into a bidding war over the amount of aid available.

FWIW, I think the rankings will continue to matter because USNWR can get the data they need from other sources, and no matter what Yale et al say, they don't want to drop in the rankings.

Interesting. In the early 90s, I had 99th percentile LSAT score and spouse had a perfect Lsat score, we both had graduated undergrad from ivies, and neither of us were offerred merit aid from any law school. We both attended GW, fwiw.[/quote]

Wow.  You both underachieved on the law school front big time.  Just sayin’[/quote]
