[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's T14 but not T4.  [/quote]

There is no top 4 only Top 6 for law schools and top 14.  Top 6 has 7 schools--Yale Stanford Harvard Chicago Columbia[b] NYU and now Penn is inching it's way up and some put it in there.

But you knew that?  [/quote]

Of course there is a top 4. See rankings here. Duke, Harvard, Penn UvA tied for 4. https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/law-rankings[/quote]

Duke and UVA at #4.  [/b]Totally laughable.  [b][/quote]

DP. You can always tell when you've won an argument on DCUM when a mom uses "totally laughable" or "you're insufferable". Both are terrible woman-speak terms that convey no substantive meaning and add nothing of use to the thread - they are just a trite, non-substantive arrogant slams which serve no purpose but to make the poster feel momentarially superior before going about their miserable life.  A verbal b@tch slap, if you will. [/quote]

Fine. You’re delusional if you think Duke and UVA are top 4 law schools. Happy now? [/quote]

It is the bourgeoise that drive the obsession with business and law school rankings, as that’s how they maintain their wealth and status without the presence of old money. On the other hand, a good number of the rich Ivy League students come from old money ( e.g. William F Buckley or Bill Gates’ kids). They can focus on the humanities not necessarily because it’s “easier”, but because it’s provides a broader lens about how the world actually works. If I spend my undergrad taking finance courses and joining pre professional organizations I almost certainly will be well off, but I won’t understand fundamentally why I’m doing this rat race to begin with. ( ex. Why is finance even possible as a career? How did it emerge out of the Industrial Revolution?) For this, liberal arts gives you the answer  it’s just not inherently profitable. Read Marx, Keynes, Hayek or the philosophers Kant, Hegel, and Hume; you’ll have a much better understanding of how the world works and you’ll probably be pretty critical/cynical after the fact. What amazes me about people complaining about how leftist college campuses are is how nobody on the right assumes the best intentions of academia. For example, nobody on the right even begins to think that perhaps there is something objective or universal that people who spent their whole life studying a subject are seeing. What they are seeing is the farce of the modern capitalist industry.[/quote]

Bill Gates' daughters majored in bio.  One went to med school.[/quote]

And history.  [/quote]
