How about ranking the Texas schools in terms passing the bar exam on the first try? Hint: Law degree not worth anything if you can't pass the bar.
Dude, there are a lot of lower ranked law schools, which “teach to the test,” with high bar passage rates. We used to call these “black letter law schools.”
This is not the flex that you think it is.
That said, Texas a&m’s law school was not around when I was attending law school at Texas. It looks like Texas a&m’s law school has since done well in the USNWR rankings in a relatively short time. So congrats to Texas a&m…

How is Alabama not in this list

Surprised Tulane isnt on here. They got killed a couple years ago in these rankings for not prioritizing first generation graduates

I mean you might be right if solely looking at grad school stats. However its statistically harder to get into tulane undergrad than any SEC school not named Vandy

ranked in the most remunerative fields by the very same publication
As others highlight, there are many qualitative factors that effect overall rankings that, to me, are noise

No argument here (and I'm a Tulane grad). Tulane lacks the endowment of a Duke or Vanderbilt and Nola continues to decline.

So are you trying to say UGA is a better University?
Weird, I thought UF was a better University....as do most publications, academic rankings, employers, labs, hospitals, Vetinary Offices, Law Firms, etc.
But what do they know?
As for business programs..both are very good. Some of the top in the SEC for business.
But as a whole....
No question UF is better academically.
But you win the most important thing; Georgia and Texas have to be in the Top 5 for colleges in the USA for the best looking females.

Anybody that really think a school matters is either really young and has no clue or a troll.
I know Texas people that work for Arkansas people. Georgia people that work for Arkansas people.
UGA people working for TN people.
Florida people working for FSU people.
You name it and it’s happening.

I'd guess the STEM departments push UF over UGA in the overall rankings. In Georgia the top STEM kids go to GT. In Florida they go to UF.

TAMU law school has the highest first try passage rate for the Texas Bar for any university in the state.
First of all, Aggie’s have a damn good law school especially considering how new it is but bar pass rate is only one metric, and A&M barely edges texas there: 96.0% vs 95.6%. But texas is still higher ranked, has a higher median LSAT, much stronger BigLaw placement, stronger federal clerkship placement, and 97% of cross-admits chose Texas over A&M. So congrats on winning by 0.4% on one test; Texas wins the actual law-school comparison.
Also, you have to compare number of graduates. Texas has a little more than twice the number than the Aggies do every year. You would think the difference between pass rates would be greater considering the number of grads we have compared to them.
Texas Law: 308 J.D. degrees awarded in 2024–25.
Texas A&M Law: 124 J.D. degrees awarded in 2024–25.
Personally, I think fighting over stuff like this is silly because they’re both well regarded law schools, but I wasn’t the one who brought it up. It’s definitely impressive how quickly the Ags have built that reputation in such a short time.

I’m not sure that promoting your schools’ success at pumping out lawyers is the brag that you think it is. They work like hell to destroy those business school graduates you also brag about.

For some industries and roles I agree completely.
For fields like law, finance and medicine it absolutely matters but I’d argue it’s based on tiers or alumni networks rather than strict A>B rankings.
