In terms of accepted students who enrolled at the school. LSU and Tulane didn't even crack the top ten. The competition is over.

quote:

Yale, 74.3 percent of accepted students enrolled at the school in the fall of 2015, compared to an average yield rate of about 24.3 percent among all 195 law schools ranked by U.S. News, the publication reports.

But three other law schools in the top 10 for the best yield rates were in the bottom one-fourth of the U.S. News rankings overall: Southern University Law Center, Liberty University and North Carolina Central University.

Here are the 10 law schools with the best yield rates:

1) Yale University, 74.3 percent yield rate, ranked No. 1 overall

2) Brigham Young University, 68.8 percent yield rate, tied for No. 38 rank overall

3) Harvard University, 60.4 percent yield rate, tied for No. 2 rank overall

4) Southern University Law Center, 51.5 percent yield rate, ranked in the bottom fourth overall

I wonder how many Yale / SULC cross admits there are every year. What a tough choice to make!

it was a tough choice for me to make and I don't wish something so difficult on anyone.

But after consulting with my friends and family, I'm happy to announce that I did attend Swagga University Law Center.

There was another awesome stat the administration loved to cite while I was there, but I can't remember exactly what it was. It was something similar to this one in that it put SULC in good company on its face, but was actually a terrible commentary of the state of the school when you looked at how the stat was formulated. It may have been something related to acceptance rates and enrollment rates

I'd bet on it being "diversity" related

I went to Swagger U with a couple from Toronto. They were each - separately - accepted to some big-name schools but Southern is the only one that accepted them both. The worst part is they had never been south of New York and called the school for advice on where to live. They spent their first year at the terrible appartments right by campus.

No doubt the other institutions on this list have different variables than SULC which lead to the result. Nevertheless, this is tremendous. God Bless A.A. Lenoir Hall!
