Chicago Booth comes in at #7 in these biennial rankings. I believe it was #5 in the last set of rankings two years ago.
Wharton jumped from like #7 two years ago to #1 this year.
I wonder if booth is managing to take much from the tippy tops like Harvard and Stanford.
Wharton should never have been #7 to begin with. So I wouldn’t necessarily trust those rankings.
Rejoice, @Cue7 ! I know nothing of the methodology of this ranking, but I believe Chicago also does shockingly poorly in Forbes’ college rankings, which leads me to believe there’s something a little bit off in the Forbes way of looking at the educational world. More sizzle than steak?
I don’t think the general public value the Forbes ranking too much.
I apologize if this sounds like a personal attack. But doesn’t every @Cue7 post sound like that he is rejoicing at downfall of U of C? His animosity towards U of C and his bias for UPenn are really striking to even a casual observer.
I am waiting for Chrchill to reply
@85bears46 - I encourage you then to see responses to my UPenn threads, then, where posters like @Much2learn and others have decried my animosity to UPenn and my favoritism toward uchicago!
Funny how posters with allegiances to different schools assume favoritism/bias when others critique those schools.
To be fair, Cue’s schadenfreude (er, critique) extends to every educational institution which isn’t H or S, though for all I know he dishes those two as well in their own forums.
Yes, @Cue7 tell us what your true motivation is here, inquiring minds want to know…
@anaesabc Ask and you shall receive. The only ranking that really matters – right or wrong and for good or bad is USNWR. Chicago Booth was third with HBS and Wharton tied for first. Any business school ranking that does not have HBS as first is a dirty communist lie straight out of Hanoi. And Forbes also has MIT as 9th ? Seriously. There is a consensus that HBS, Wharton, Chicago, Stanford and MIT are the top 5.
Just as there is a consensus that Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Chicago and Columbia are the top 5 law schools.
I am curious why you mentioned Hanoi. Why not Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, Pyongyang, Washington DC?
@coolweather :)!
With Ken Burns’ Vietnam War getting lots of press, Hanoi is on the brain.
@coolweather
or CoooBah? I mean they are in the news.
I just finished the first episode of The Vietnam War. Vietnamese Communist leaders were liars but they were not the only ones.
Actually – this is a line from a Frank Sinatra live concert …
Touché @Chrchill - good to throw a bit of Mid-centcury American culture into the discussion.
Since when is there consensus that Columbia is a top 5 law school? I agree that Chicago is a clear #4, but I think the next group is a peloton without much differentiation.
No Columbia has been top 5 for the last 20-30 years. NYU bested it once.
