Business School and Social Life

Not really Giants. For LDB’s argument to hold, we must assume that 100% of the smartest and most capable Michigan undergrads are enrolled in Ross. In truth, only 20% of them are. 30% of them are enrolled in the CoE and another 50% are enrolled in LSA. Admittedly, and to both my delight and relief, Michigan’s student body is not Investment-Banking/Consuting-obsessed. Our students are intellectually divers, and the number of students who dream of becoming Engineers, educators, artists etc… Only a very small percentage of Michigan’s total student population (definitely less than 10%) is interested in majoring in Business. Of those, 50% are enrolled in Ross, the other 50% were not good enough and are majoring in whatever chosen field in LSA or the CoE.

<p>I suppose that has some merit, but you also have to look at Penn in that respect as well. Are 100% of the smartest and most capable students at Penn enrolled in Wharton? Not likely. I’m not saying one of you are completely right with respect to this point; it’s probably somewhere in between. And I’ll second the diversity notion - would be a pretty tense, and fairly boring, school if everyone wanted to go into finance!</p>
