The rankings are not completely subjective or arbitrary...but they are capricious and they are garbage. I want to see someone rank the magazines...and put USNWR in the third or fourth tier!

This will be a huge boon to those seeking information on part time programs. Being another potential part time student it's virtually impossible to find this information online anywhere. Thanks for the heads up and I'm going to try my best to hold off on selecting a school until you release your rankings!!!!

I noticed Drexel isn't on your 2008 rankings? Why is this, I'm sure it will be on 2009 as a Tier 1 with it's high LSAT range. I am applying there for the Fall along with Georgetown, Villanova, Temple, NYU, and Fordham.

My favorite quote of all time:

"every year USNews eats up the legal profession, digests it and we cannot help ourselves but marvel at big steaming pile of dung that is left for us to bicker about"

If I see one more !diotic ranking with Harvard, Yale, Columbia, etc. as the top whatever! Who cares! How many different magazines need to print these same stupid rankings of these same schools in varying order. What is the difference if Harvard is 1, 2, or 3....just because some loser editor compiling stats on a completely subjective basis thinks so? Please....I can't believe legal professionals are not smarter than to finally do away with USNews and its fellow cronies!

We all know the debate that will inform your January 2009 decision. I would think you need to know whether PT students are in separate classes (e.g. night classes) or in class with FT students. If they are by and large with FT students in class, then their admissions numbers need to be a part of the overall ranking of the school, because they have an impact on the conduct of the class. If they are in separate classes for all or most years, in night classes, e.g., then they are in a distinct program that confers the same degree. They do not have an impact on the higher "quality" FT students, and should therefore not influence the decision of an entering students choosing her school. So are you collecting data this year on whether the PT students are largely integrated with the FT students either first year or soon thereafter?
