    Any ranking system where OSU beats Princeton HAS to be legit, right? :P

    Interesting ranking. If your goal is to go to a large research university that has many poor people who either go into the military or are hippies working in public service, this list is probably a gold mine.

    hahahahahahahaha

    That system is absolute bullshit.

    I clicked on it and scrolled through the first two or three schools, but didn't see Ohio U., so I figured this was an April Fool's joke posted a day late and closed out of it.

    Hey it could be worse, at least this ranking system seems independent, its not like its sponsored/created by a diploma factory that using its 'non-biased' criteria deems itself ranked #12 in law schools, when no one else would probably rank them in the top 200. The hubris is hilarious:

    Eh hem...Northwestern managed to crack the top 40 at 39. :cool:

    The list hardly takes academics into account. This is honestly some of the most arbitrary criteria I've ever seen. Since research is one of the three components of course the nation's largest research university would rank higher than places like Yale and Princeton because they are teaching institutions, not really research universities.

    Clearly you underestimate the importance of a good library. Luckily hiring partners aren't so myopic.

    Let's be honest here, any list that doesn't have Ohio State in the top 10 is junk, and you can take that to the bank.

    I really just hope that is how you finished every paper you ever wrote at Ohio State.

  • queencitybuckeye
    Interesting that no matter the criteria, Ohio's best university always tops the list. :)

    I would take a whole university of poor people who either went into the military or were hippies working in public service over one corporate attorney wasting a whole lot of money on B.S and my brother is even one of you.

    The SEC, with the exception of Vanderbilt, did VERY poorly in this. Interesting.

    It'd be a great slogan for an ambulance-chaser attorney like that Kevin Kurgis or whatever his name is that has all those hilarious commercials on Columbus TV stations.

    "If you're wronged, I WILL give you a court victory AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!!"

    I like this.
