Title: Believe us -- precisely the same as the 5th edition!
Review: I didn't believe the earlier writer who suggested it wasn't worth purchasing this book if you had already read the 5th edition; I wish I had. This edition is exactly the same as the earlier version - same phrases, same schools (do you know, it only has 112 of 179 ABA approved law schools featured?). If you're thinking about buying this book, I would recommend that you go to the library instead and read whichever version they happen to have on hand, even if it dates back to the early 90s. On the other hand, if you don't know anything about the reputation of particular schools, this book can be helpful in giving you a snapshot view. If you do know something about the reputation of certain schools, you may find, as I did, that this book is more of a confirmation of everything else I had heard/read about those schools -- it didn't seem to offer any fresh insights.
