lawschool100 or US News? 1 Year, 9 Months ago Karma: 0  
What is the difference between http://www.lawschool100.com/ and U.S. News rankings? Some schools that are not top tier in U.S. News are considered top tier on lawschool100. Which site is more reliable? Sorry if this question has already been asked. Thanks.

U.S. News (USN) law rankings are based on a 5.0-scale peer assessment survey, median LSAT scores, and median undergraduate grade-point average. USN examined the data for each quality indicator, and where appropriate, USN adjusted the indicators in which low values suggest higher quality, such as acceptance rates. The scores were then rounded to the nearest whole number and schools placed in descending order. Every school's performance is presented relative to the other schools with which it is being compared. A school with an overall score of 100 did not necessarily top out on every indicator; rather, it accumulated the highest composite score.
