<p>Have any of you read about this?</p>
<p>Wow this could prove disatrous to advocates of affiramtive action. I know schools say they want diversity, but (not to sound cynical...maybe a bit naive) I know that schools care a lot about their ranking, especially the T20 and then the 40-60 range (since they all strive to be T50)</p>
<p>I think this will effect middle of the road law schools more than it will the top 25 because the top 25 usually get the cream of the crop regardless of race.</p>
<p>well they get the cream of the crop of the urms. I guess you could categorize urm and non urm and they get the top of both categories. But this could, and its pure speculation, reduce the size of the urm pool that they would consider</p>
<p>I doubt it. Harvard will always be Harvard and SMU will always be SMU. The two will never be confused. The Ivies and similar schools will never fall in prestige regardless of what a magazine does with its formula. Employers know the Ivies produce some of the best graduates and it's been that way for years. Yes, even with AA in place. What incentive do the top 25 law schools have in order for them to change their admissions policy. It's the equivalent of Warren Buffet changing the way he invests based on Fortune Magazine's stock picks for the year.</p>
<p>well these will definitely affect the middle of the tier 1 pack because recruiters look at these magazines and so do major corporations. The top 5 will remain in their respective places for years to come with some shifts in their positions but the middle of the pack is always shuffling and fighting to be the T50</p>
