A recent Kaplan survey reveals growing skepticism towards U.S. News & World Report law school rankings, with 62% of law school admissions officers believing the rankings have lost prestige, up from 51% in 2023. Despite admissions officers' concerns about bias and limitations, only 26% of pre-law students support eliminating the rankings system completely.
The survey comes amid a significant surge in law school applications, with numbers up 20% compared to the 2023-2024 cycle and 25% compared to 2022-2023. The increase is attributed to concerns about a potential recession and growing interest in politics and public policy.
The study included responses from admissions officers at 93 of 197 ABA-accredited law schools, including 34 of the top 50 ranked institutions. While acknowledging the rankings' utility for comparing statistics like post-graduation employment and salaries, Kaplan advises applicants to prioritize schools that align with their personal and professional goals.
