All of these comments make sense, and I would have to agree with everything said. One question I had regarding such employment statistical rates is that of the specific rates for those who follow the specialty program. Is there any way to track down the rates of employment specifically pertaining to those who graduate with a health law track from such a school specializing in the area? While I am confident that it is best to gravitate towards the school with the higher overall ranking, what if the overall employment statistics for a school like Maryland do not accurately represent those who are specifically involved with the healthcare track? All of this becomes irrelevant if I get into a highly ranked school; however, I am trying to determine at what point do I choose a school ranked with a higher specialization compared to a higher overall ranking, (assuming this is the main factor in play).
I just thought I would throw this question out to the community in hopes of getting a question answered. I am currently planning on studying health care law. Does anyone know how much the ranking of a specialty law program matters in terms of future employment? I have seen few answers online regarding the topic and I have seen even less evidence to back up opinions.
"in order to differentiate themselves".... Is it unreasonable to infer that if they had to differentiate themselves that they were similar hence strengthening the relationship that they started out similar... this question was an absolute time sink due to my line of thinking.
