Only 5 schools remaining that were > 25% last year: Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, USC, and UNC.
Scofflaws.
Berkeley responds to your chiding...
Berkeley - 68.0% (+0.8%)

I wondered why it was taking so long this year, and it turns out, they have another week still to publish the reports.

Also, Northwestern just released their JD-MBA numbers separately, and it's by far the largest percentage of BL folks in that crowd in at least 8 years (21/27 in 100+ firms).
So, for the first time in a long time (maybe ever), NU's BL+FC percentage actually dropped when you remove the JD-MBA's from the numerator and denominator, though only by 0.24%.

This vindicates the practice of dropping JD/MBAs from the percentages, IMO. It just took a good year for the b-school crowd and NU pulled to basically even with Chicago.

Agree. It was still a big year for NU, so a nudge behind Chicago I'd still say. But without JD-MBAs it's typically a 2.5-3.0% bump in the BL+FC numbers (and over 5% in 2013). With just JDs, NU has been over 68% since the c/o 2013 and over 70% since the c/o 2015. Essentially the type of numbers that makes "take the money" probably the right answer for generic biglaw goals (all else equal) when comparing NU at even $30K cheaper COA than T6 options.

Note: Yale has a page labeled 2018 Employment data, but right now, it's just the 2017 numbers on that page. Be sure they've actually changed the data before you post Yale.

Yeah, I noticed that earlier today. But it looks like they just sorted it out:
Yale - 62.3% (-1.1%)

That'll wrap it up for this cycle. There are no schools that have hit 10% in any of the last 9 years that I haven't checked. Here are some interesting year-by-year stats on totals from all schools that have hit 10% at least once since 2010:

Interesting trends, there. Thanks for putting that together!
