Ended up in marketing and loved it.

Its not as hard as you think. With my Aggie ingenuity and large un Trump like hands, it was no problem at all.

Law rankings are very volatile right now. Job market for law grads had been terrible for almost a decade now and lots of smart kids are deciding to do other things.
As a result, The quality of the applicant pool (which is one of the main considerations in the rankings) has been declining at pretty much every law school since about 2011. That ultimately affects other things like graduation rate, a bar passage rates, which are also down pretty much everywhere.
So as for the rankings right now, it's basically a question of whether a school can manage to attract a few extra really high-quality enrollees each year to help keep their average credentials up, if so, they can rise pretty sharply, if not they likely drop sharply.
So really the bottom line is that the rankings are not very indicative of actual law school quality at the moment.

There's a reason the better programs have almost 100% placement rates. Shite is hard, world needs auditors, tax people and internal accountants.

I've always read about LSU's program in this and always been interested in what exactly the specialities of Internal Auditing are that separate it into its own specific program separate from accounting (and I assume grads get internal audit certifications and not CPAs, which seems really limiting).
What exactly is the difference in that program from a general accounting program? I always viewed it as almost like majoring in public accounting or majoring in private company accounting. Almost everyone I deal with at clients who is part of the internal audit function is an ex-public accountant. I guess the LSU program has to be totally geared towards placement at giant Fortune 100 type companies?

I had already passed both of those classes by the skin of my teeth, so I was in too deep at that point to change schools

Someone told me they used to require finance and accounting for their department, but so few people are prepared for actual finance work they'll take any degree if that person can prove they can learn on the job.
