<p>“If you don’t like absolutes in this world leanid,…”</p>

<p>Oh, pardon me Moses, or is it John Calvin – it is SO good to know that some things will never change!</p>

22

<p>""I like Business Week’s rankings better. It is a business magazine, after all. They must know something… "</p>

<p>Yes, they know how to sell magazines. LOL "</p>

<p>Oh, and US News doesn’t know how…good one.</p>

23

<p>And, by the way, I have no problem with absolutes as long as they ARE absolutes.</p>

24

<p>^^^This is the thanks I get for publishing the more accurate ranking. Oh well. :-(</p>

25

<p>i know the business rankings and i understand that there are schools higher than nyu… but when it comes to business not all schools focus as heavily on finance, investment banking, and hedge funds compared to nyu stern…</p>

<p>[Finance</a> | Rankings | US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/business-finance]Finance”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/business-finance)</p>

<p>these are finance rankings at the business schools… is this legit? is nyu stern really that high for finance? that is the field of business i am interested in.</p>

26

<p>NYU is a top business school. Just another reason why BW rankings are hogwash.</p>

27

<p>Both the USNews and Businesweek rankings are horrid.</p>

28

<p>I’ll bite barrk123; Where are the top undergraduate business programs in the country?</p>

29

<p>Someone posted this a while ago where they averaged the two rankings. Seems like a relatively decent compromise. NYU is a little too low (should be top 5) as is USC, and Notre Dame should be lower (10-15). The top finance programs would be the top 17 IMO.</p>

<p>“NYU is a little too low (should be top 5) as is USC, and Notre Dame should be lower (10-15).”</p>

<p>Just use the USNWR rankings and there would be no need to compromise.</p>

<p>

Obviously Illinois is better recruited than Georgetown-McDonough.</p>

32

<p>^^^^For accounting it certainly would be.</p>

33

<p>For accounting you would get hired whether you went to Georgetown or Illinois or a regional school like Trinity or Santa Clara.</p>

34

<p>You obviously know very little about the Big Four. </p>

<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four_(audit_firms[/url])”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four_(audit_firms)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

35

<p>What is there to know? Over half of Trinity University accounting students end up at a Big 4 firm and it is a small regional school. They don’t care if you went to Illinois or Georgetown as long as your GPA is high and you interned.</p>

<p>looking at my stats is it worth applying ed1 to upenn wharton and then ed2 to nyu stern… or will applying ed2 to nyu lessen my chances there as well… i guess what im asking is if ed1 i have a shot at wharton… and if there is a significant difference in acceptance rates for ed1 or ed2 at nyu stern…</p>
