Morse Code: Inside the College Rankings

About That 'Secret' Memo

March 6, 2008 RSS Feed Print

"The Official Leaked US News Law School Rankings, Plus Ranking Secrets Revealed!" Not quite. That "secret" memo that appears to have originated on the Concurring Opinions blog doesn't reveal the new law school rankings, and the accompanying "secret" memo and comments are not those of any U.S. News employee. We're much funnier.

When are the real new law school rankings coming out? U.S.News & World Report's new law rankings will be published online on March 28, 2008 on our website (usnews.com) in the 2009 edition of America's Best Graduate Schools. We urge everyone interested in seeing the accurate rankings— and the methodology that was used— to come back to U.S. News the last Friday of this month.

I am trying to determine if this is the same Bob Morse I attended school with years ago in Virginia.

Bob Morse responds: It sounds like we both went to high school in Roanoke, VA at Patrick Henry at the same time. So, yes.

Anyone who would change where they are going to law school based on the updated rankings is clearly an idiot. The rankings are useful in determining where to apply to law school, and in broad ranges where to go, but anyone who chose to go to NYU over Columbia just because NYU was ranked 4th last year and Columbia was ranked 5th shouldn't be going to law school in the first place.
