<p>name some colleges?
by rank?
or something?</p>
<p>Upenn wharton is the best.
Then MIT
then
NYU stern, Berkeley Haas, and U mich are about tied</p>
<p>Wharton is Most Def the best followed by Stern and Mich, etc</p>
<p>The Almighty:
University of Pennsylvanis (Wharton)</p>
<p>GROUP I:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan)
New York University (Stern)
University of California-Berkeley (Haas)
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Ross)
University of Virginia (McIntire)</p>
<p>GROUP II:
Boston College (Carroll)
Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper)
Cornell University
Emory University (Goizuetta)
Georgetown University (McCombs)
Indiana University-Bloomington (Kelley)
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Kenan Flagler)
University of Southern California (Marshall)
University of Texas-Austin (McCombs)
Washington University- St Louis (Olin)</p>
<p>georgetown but not notre dame in group II?</p>
<p>other than that i'd say that's a very accurate/comprehensive list</p>
<p>other noteworthy schools are university of illinois, brigham young (not for everyone), and babson</p>
<p>or if you are simply interested in going into business and not necessarily in a degree in it, any top school with an econ program.</p>
<p>For some reason, Georgetown attracts a more interesting group of recruiters. But I would probably add Lehigh, Notre Dame and a couple other programs to Group II.</p>
<p>But for business overall a top econ degree is just, if not more, valuable. If you want to be a future high flyer:</p>
<p>1:
HYPS, MIT, Wharton</p>
<p>2:
Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, Penn (econ), Columbia, Amherst, Williams, NYU Stern
2.5:
Ross, Hass, Cornell, Northwestern, UVA (McIntire), Chicago</p>
<p>Slipper's list is way off.</p>
<p>He knows himself from Vault's list of top recruiting schools for consulting that Northwestern has a higher level of recruitment than some of the schools he listed on level 2. In fact, the only schools that out do Northwestern in terms of consulting placement are HYPS and Wharton. Therefore, I disagree with your list. In terms of major banking, I do not think that Amherst and Williams should be in number two. These are great schools. Are they major IB hunting grounds? No. And finally, I know a ton of people (a lot of personal friends) that went to Cornell. Many are on Wall Street now. Cornell does phenomenally well with banking. It doesn't do as well with consulting. And Stern does not do well with consulting. Bain, Mercer, McKinsie, and Boston Consulting do not even consider NYU a target school. And UVA does not even belong on this list. I would add instead Georgetown (very highly recruited). Again, what can I say, an ivy league grad trying to defend his alma mater. And finally, Brown is not that well recruited in comparison to some of the other schools listed. In fact, Brown was not even on Lehman Brother's target schools until just recently. It wasn't on JP Morgan's list either until recently.</p>
<p>^^ wow i was going to say that but.. why bother.. and then someone did it anyway</p>
<p>Although I agree you on most things, Slipper, I agree with the Northwestern crowd on this one.
Trying to be as objective as possible (difficult if not impossible,) for business, Northwestern (Kellogg certificate prog, anyway,) is tier #1.</p>
<p>I agree with Slipper's list, but I would combine groups 2 and 3 into one. There is virtually no distinction between recruitment at UVa and McIntire or between recruitment at Michigan and Ross. The same companies recruit students from both the general student population and the B schools.</p>
<p>C'mon now Alexandre, you know Chicago has the best economics program in America and maybe even in the world. How can you agree with someone who says they are not in the top 15 much less the top two tiers. Completely off, Chicago has the best econ degree in America.</p>
<p>Do you even need to be an econ major? Wouldn't you be just as marketable majoring in international studies or communications (or whatever you are interested in), with a minor in econ and/or statistics?</p>
<p>Sheed, I agree. That's why I said that Slepper's group 2 and 2.5 (which includes Chicago) should be merged into one.</p>
<p>GoBlue81,</p>
<p>Below is what a portfolio manager co-managing a $1.8 billion global bond fund and managing a start-up hedge fund for institutional clients said about the value of the humanities and a liberal education: </p>
<p>"When students ask me why I chose to study history and get a liberal arts degree, as opposed to pursuing an undergraduate business degree at another school, I tell them that they have their entire life to study business. Business is a 'trade,' so to speak and can be learned in the working world as well as the classroom. Undergraduate education is a special time in life. I encourage students to explore what they find interesting and engaging. Students have "the rest of their post-undergraduate lives" to study business. Moreover, in the right liberal arts setting, usually without recognizing it, students gain invaluable skills which translate nicely into the business world such as written and spoken communication and critical thinking. It is surprising how important, yet how rare, these skills are found in the business world. Above all, among the successful and engaging CEOs and senior-level professionals, with whom I work every day, most have liberal arts degrees. Leveraging the skills they learned in the liberal arts classroom, they used their time after college to learn and excel in the technical elements of business."</p>
<p>To add to what Sam said, I know that in the case of Michigan, several major companies recruit more heavily at the college of LSA than at Ross. One such company is Goldman Sachs, which generally recruits more students out of the college of LSA than Ross on a regular basis. McKinsey also recruits more students out of LSA than Ross.</p>
<p>Williams and Amherst are huge feeder schools to Ibanking...What was up with that post before saying they weren't?</p>
<p>Pshhhhh... NUGRAD... I hope when you claim UVA shouldn't even be on the list that you are speaking in terms of consulting; I don't know its placement in consulting but it is a definite target in IB.</p>
<p>Group III rep'n? :P</p>

<p>Oh, I don't know. I'd say that the boys in Cambridge might have something to say about that.</p>
<p>USNews Graduate Edition:
Economics</p>
<p>"1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology 5.0
University of Chicago 5.0 "</p>
<p>Now, of course, you might say that that's just a graduate ranking. That's true, but I am not aware of any credible undergrad econ rankings out there (no, Gourman is not credible).</p>
