Very nice! I like how we found the same link. Great minds… haha. I’m a big fan of the median salary rankings.

Thanks for the info Ann! It was interesting to see how some of the “lower ranked” (ie.based on USNWR) law schools I was interested in are notably higher when compared against the median starting salaries of other schools. P.S. – The “Law School Rankings by Median starting Salary” link doesn’t work as their is an extra “http//”.

I thought this was a pretty good read that is relevant to this topic (and a good introduction to the bi-modal distribution for those who just concentrate on the median):
