Looks like the old US News law school rankings. "The biggest factor in determining the outcome was a statistical model used to project the median salary for graduates. Schools whose graduates were projected to earn more money than graduates from comparable institutions ranked higher. Other factors in the student outcomes were graduation rate and how long it would take students to pay off the net cost of their education, including room and board."
I'm not saying that isn't a good methodology, and this is the Wall Street Journal. But, it's going to favor schools with big business / stem programs in high wage areas.
