【求科普贴】为什么是T14？。。。

bigben要变聪明UID: 3630087

lz今年已经申请了10所学校，申请结束等待offer过程的这段时间，考虑了一些之前由于时间匆忙，没有考虑清楚的问题。
但目前尚有一事不得其解，那就是为什么是T14？？？？！！！！！
到底是谁一开始划分出了这14所学校？为什么不是T8？T11？T18？而是14呢？

求见多识广，博学多才的亲们指教。。。。拜谢~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

约定俗称的说法吧，不是还有T3和T7吗？所以不用太介意，关键是了上了就可以。。。。。

是啊，不明白为何会有这样一个分类。。。而且14这个数字也很奇怪，T10，T15好像比较正常吧。。。

There exists an informal category known as the top 14, or T14. This term refers to the 14 institutions that continually claim the top spots in the yearly U.S. News & World Report ranking of American law schools. Although "T14" is not a designation used by U.S News itself, the term is "widely known in the legal community." These schools, listed below, have seen their ranking within the top fourteen spots shift frequently, but have not placed outside of the top fourteen since the inception of the annual rankings with the exception of Cornell trading places with UCLA during the inaugural rankings in 1987. Because of their variable placement within the top fourteen, but remarkable consistency of these fourteen schools at the top of all 180+ schools, they are occasionally referred to collectively as the "Top Fourteen" in published books on Law School Admissions, undergraduate university pre-law advisers, professional law school consultants, and newspaper articles on the subject.
