One of the trends to look at is the likelihood of enrolling at an institution. Nationally, the yield rate (acceptance to matriculate) for law schools averages 23%. Logically, one would think that the highest ranked schools have the highest yield rates among accepted students, however, from the chart below, you can see that is not always the case.
Of course Yale, Harvard, and Stanford are ranked in the top 10 for yield and also take the top three spots on the USNWR rankings. But then there are schools outside of the USNWR top 10 and top 20 schools like Savannah Law School whose accepted students desire to attend the institution at higher rates than Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Penn, Virginia, Berkeley, Duke, and Michigan (the rest of the USNWR top 10 schools).
See how accepted students favored your school in the chart below.
