<p>Lazykid, thank you again, this has been real helpful. One more question, Here are the stats from US News </p>
<p>Starting Salaries of Graduates Employed Full-time (Class of 2009)</p>
<p>25th percentile private sector starting salary $85,000
Median private sector starting salary $112,000
75th percentile private sector starting salary $140,000
Percent in the private sector who reported salary information 32%</p>
<p>this is from us news, not from the school (or does the school just tell us news this?) </p>
<p>Granted only 32% told salary info, but if these ranges represented 32% of the 2009 class and the 75th percentile of that 32 makes 140,000 wouldn’t that work out to the top 10% or so getting these salaries? And this is from 2009 but it also seems to correlate to that link you posted earlier where about 10% of miami got ‘biglaw’ Am I wrong here?</p>
<p>Oh, or are all these jobs exclusively with tax law which Miami is ranked 5th in? Could this explain it?</p>
