<p>Satisfied recruiters are keys behind Binghamton University's climb up the ladder of elite business schools, administrators said Sunday.</p>

<p>BU's School of Management ranked 40th overall in Business Week's annual ranking of top undergraduate programs. It was 15th among public schools.</p>

<p>Binghamton improved from an overall a ranking of 74 last year and rated higher than many larger and more established programs, including business schools at Syracuse University, Boston University, Mary-land and Purdue, according to the Business Week survey, released late last week.</p>

<p>While receiving a C in teaching quality and a B in facilities and services, BU proved to be a strong favorite among business recruiters, ranking 11th out of all the schools.</p>

<p>Upinder Dhillon, dean of BU's School of Management, cited the success the school has in meeting the needs of employers looking for qualified workers.</p>

<p>"Recruiters really like our students," Dhillon said, noting the school added a placement director last year to draw top recruiters, including Goldman Sachs, to Binghamton.</p>

<p>Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur said BU's showing was especially impressive because "it compares very favorably against much more longstanding programs."</p>

<p>Wow... this is great news for Binghamton! That's a huge jump from 74th last year...</p>

<p>I think I may still end up going to either Bentley (30th) or Villanova (13th) though.</p>

<p>I heard about this. That's great.</p>

<p>It's nice for NY students just cuz it's also an education that doesn't cost a lot. Hoepfully the trend continues. Would be nice to see a NY public school regarded highly.</p>

Extracurrics:Superb,too long to mention</p>

<p>please tell me how i would fare in applying ,thanks</p>

<p>sorry c2meang91, i don't think you qualify. GPA is at least 10 points below average, and SATS for SOM should range from 1250-1300+.</p>

<p>So SOM is more competitive. Hmm... that was the track I was planning on taking. Are there any current students willing to offer insight? Is there much difference between SOM and A&S in rigor of curriculum/competitiveness? The school website is kind of vague... or maybe I'm not looking in the right places.</p>

<p>SOM is harder to get into. What major did you indicate on your application? If you didn't indicate a major, your application is treated as an application to Harpur and if admitted you would have to transfer into SOM -- something that isn't easy to do. If you indicated a major that is within SOM, it will be treated as an application to SOM.</p>

<p>Ooops---I could've sworn I put business as option 1, but for some reason it's 2. Foreign language/etc. is 1 right now, but I guess I'll just call them.</p>

<p>Haha, okay I went through the formal process of writing a letter restating my intentions to apply to Bing---am now being considered for SOM :). I was a bit stressed for a while but the switch was pretty easy/smooth. Huzzahhh</p>
