NEW YORK, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princeton Review -- known for its college rankings based on how students rate their schools - tomorrow releases the 2010 editions of its annual law and business school guidebooks which also feature rankings uniquely based on student surveys. "The Best 172 Law Schools" and "The Best 301 Business Schools" (Random House / Princeton Review, $22.99, on sale October 6) each have 11 ranking lists of top 10 schools in various categories.
Among them: "Best Professors" on which University of Chicago's law school and Harvard's business school ranked #1 in the law school and b-school guides, respectively, and "Best Career Prospects" with Northwestern University's law school and University of Michigan-Ann Arbor's business school capturing the top spots.
The Princeton Review compiled the rankings based on its surveys of 18,000 students attending the 172 law schools and 19,000 students attending the 301 b-schools in the books, as well as on school-reported data. The ranking lists and FAQs about the rankings, survey, and books are posted at www.PrincetonReview.com.
Other ranking list categories in each book and #1 schools on them include: "Best Classroom Experience" Law school: University of Texas at Austin Business school: University of Pennsylvania "Most Competitive Students" Law school: Baylor University Business school: University of Pennsylvania "Toughest to Get Into" (the only ranking based solely on school-reported data) Law school: Yale University Business school: Harvard University Other lists in "The Best 172 Law Schools" and #1 schools on them: "Most Conservative Students" - Brigham Young University "Most Liberal Students" - City University of New York-Queens College Other lists in "The Best 301 Business Schools" and #1 schools on them: "Best Campus Facilities" - Bentley College "Greatest Opportunity for Women" - Simmons College School of ManagementThe books also have ranking lists reporting the top 10 schools that are the most family friendly, have the most diverse faculties, and offer the greatest opportunities for minority students.
Said Robert Franek, Senior VP / Publisher, Princeton Review, "We don't believe one law or b-school is 'best' overall. We report rankings in 11 categories and we tally them largely from our unique student surveys to help applicants decide which of these academically outstanding schools will be the best match for them." The Princeton Review does not rank schools academically or hierarchically in its guidebooks.
About the student surveys and books
The ranking lists are based on surveys of law and b-school students during the 2008-09, 2007-08, and 2006-07 academic years. On average, 100 students at each law school and 65 students at each b-school were surveyed for the lists in the 2010 editions of the books. The 80-question survey asked students about their school's academics, student body and campus life, themselves, and their career plans. Almost all of the surveys were completed online at http://survey.review.com.
The books' school profiles have admission, academics, financial aid, campus life and career information. Introductory chapters provide advice on taking the LSAT and GMAT, applying to the schools and excelling at them.
