Top tier refers to the top tier in the US News & World Reports ranking, I believe. It is approximately the top 25 or 30 schools, if I remember correctly.

The US News Rankings (if you happen to abide by it -- many in the legal profession do not) basically ranks JD programs in four tiers. Each tier consists of fifty schools each (i.e., first or top tier would consist of top 1-50; second tier 51-101, and so on, etc.) You will notice that the fourth tier does not contain exactly 50 schools - that's beacuase there aren't (as yet) 200 schools approved by the ABA, thus the fourth tier does not have an even 50 schools in it.

Hey, hello!
Well... both! I will probably refuse the offer even though I'm still waiting for others.
What about you ? CLS for ever ? ;-)
