Retentionally yours
Posted by 020033 under Austintacious, Clearly erroneous, God Bless Texas, Hook 'Em, I wish I hadn't read that, Sad reality
Ever wondered what the retention rates are at Texas law schools? Glad you asked, Tex Parte Blog just so happens to have the rankings, care of Above the Law:
University of Houston Law Center: 1.79%
SMU Dedman School of Law: 1.81%
University of Texas School of Law: 2.13%
Texas Tech University School of Law: 2.99%
South Texas College of Law: 4.45%
Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law: 6.99%
Baylor University School of Law: 7.23%
Texas Wesleyan University School of Law: 10.15%
These numbers are pretty interesting. I wonder if the schools with higher attrition rates advertised themselves as being more prestigious than their students found them to actually be, or if some other causal factor is at work.
I must say that I’m fairly shocked that UT’s attrition rate is as high as it is (and only third best in the state). Where are UT students transferring to I wonder?
Thx to Tex Parte Blog and Above the Law
