<p>Congrats to Notre Dame and Mendoza Business School!!</p>
<p>You beat me to it ND AL! Especially exciting for DS as he declared a business major yesterday!
During freshman orientation we had the of meeting priviledge Carolyn Woo, Dean of the Mendoza College of Business. A true force of nature! An amazing asset to Our Lady’s University. Congratulation ND!
Go Irish!</p>
<p>I dont quite understand the criteria used for this ranking. It seems that the starting salary for ND graduates, the student-faculty ratio, and average SAT score of ND students are not better than those of the other schools. What make ND ranked first? Are there any hidden criteria? How do you evaluate an intangible aspect like teaching quality.</p>

<p>This is the original article–maybe this will answer some questions. Not sure how rankings are generated, either, but still very excited for ND!</p>
<p>Bloomberg BusinessWeek used nine measures to rank these programs, including surveys of senior business majors and corporate recruiters, median starting salaries for graduates, and the number of alumni each program sends to top MBA programs. We also calculated an academic quality rating for each program by combining average SAT scores, student-faculty ratios, class size, the percentage of students with internships, and the number of hours students devote to classwork.</p>
<p>OK, I go to ND and I think that this survey means very little. The only B school rankings that matter are MBA rankings.</p>
