<p>I agree with this. Even at the top schools like Wharton, only about 30 people max make it into the banking/consulting industry (taking into account boutiques and such, not just BBs). I highly doubt that 1/5 people from UT get into both of those industries. UT has a good amount of banks and such recruiting for good positions, especially in Texas, but there is no way UT sends 1/5 people in each industry, and 2/10 in total for those two ridiculously competitive industries. Even if you meant 1/5 finance grads get into those, I still highly, highly doubt that there is that good of placement even at Ross, much less McCombs. </p>

<p>Besides, the OP wants a good theatre program, so since that’s important to you, NYU tisch is the best choice, followed by USC. If you want the total package though (academics, sports, etc.), I’d say go to USC, especially if you want to live anywhere near Cali/the west coast actually.</p>

<p>Why is it obvious? </p>

<p>The Princeton Review rated UT as the number one in the Best Career/Job Placement Services category. </p>

<p>[McCombs</a> Career Services - The McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin](<a href=“http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/career/]McCombs”>http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/career/)</p>

23

<p>from looking at the recruitment website at UT - from the integrated MPA graduating class of 2008 20 out of 214 went into IB or consulting, in 2007 27 out of 240, in 2006 20 out of 227, </p>

<p>unfortunately, the bba isn’t split into numbers, only percentages, and it shows that for the 2009 graduating class 37% went into either IB or consulting.</p>

<p>UT Austin is pretty good from what I’m aware of.</p>

26

<p>37% is unrealistic. how big is the graduating class btw? around 1000? 1000 * 37% = 370 = still unrealistic.</p>

<p>k, i am looking at this ‘princeton review’ ranking for ‘best career services’ and the top ten ranking is as follows:</p>

<p>u of florida
barnard
clemson
northeastern
ut austin
penn state
clarmeont mckenna
sweet briair
rose hullman institute of tech (?? never heard of this school?)
yale</p>

<p>so, this ranking doesnt imply jack****, unfortunately. i would like to know what kind of objective measures they used. otherwise, just forget about. </p>

<p>and is mccombs lying or something? or are they just a yr or two too slow? b/c its not #1.</p>

27

<p>ut is pretty good from what i am aware of, too. but not that good.</p>

28

<p>

</p>

<p>No, I do remember Princeton Review rating them #1 in career services a couple years ago.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>By “that” I’m assuming you mean Top 3(Penn, MIT, UCB) good. If so, I could agree with you. But UT-Austin is Top 10 Good.</p>

29

<p>you know its funny, but i just noticed that masrhal’s old dean is now the dean at mccombs. so i think you got that last statement backwards. i think mccombs is trying to model itself after marshall.</p>

30

<p>so what youre saying is mccombs is a couple yrs too slow.</p>

<p>there is def elite ugrad b school programs, and then the rest. ill break it down like this (and this is my OPINION): top tier = wharton/haas/sloan/ross, and after that, the rank deosnt matter. so saying ut is ‘top ten good’ doesnt say much. being in the top ten ugrad bachool rank is kind of like being in the top 50 usnews rankings.</p>

31

<p>

</p>

<p>No, the year they got that ranking has nothing to do with whether they can put that on their site or not. PR did rate them #1 in Career Services so what’s wrong with McCombs putting it on there. Besides, it wasn’t too long ago anyway, so what difference does it make between 2 years ago and now?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>To each their own on their definition of “elite” school rankings. I happen to believe that Texas’ ugrad business school ranking is extremely great considering there are hundreds and hundreds of ugrad business schools in the nation.</p>

32

<p>Why are you attacking UT Austin so badly Trojan? It’s a well respected school with good placement.</p>

33

<p>just trying to clear up the bad info on this thread. </p>

<p>and i agree that ut is a well respected school IN TEXAS with good placement IN TEXAS. </p>

<p>and that princeton review ranking sucks, either way.</p>

34

<p>

</p>

<p>Probably the only best thing I can agree on in your post. Despite PR giving UT that #1 ranking, I don’t respect much of PR. </p>

<p>That said, I’d only consider going out of state/region(unless I’m from Pennsylvania) for business school is if I was going to Wharton.</p>

35

<p>well hey, it doesnt make sense for a lot of people to turn down mccombs. i get that.</p>

36

<p>

</p>

<p>If it was a choice for me personally, I would take Marshall or McCombs over any ugrad business school in the midwest (I’m from Chicagoland area) anyday. Warm weather >>>> snow.</p>

37

<p>

</p>

<p>I’d also put Stern there just because it’s location helps out a lot for banking jobs. Plus, aside from business schools, there are also a host of other programs that don’t have business majors that are better for placement than UT (ie HYPS, Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, etc.), so who knows. Schools always skew stats somehow to make themselves look better than they really are.</p>

38

<p>So, I think that if i get into McCombs, i will enroll, but i am not in the top ten percent, which hurts me the most in UT. I am applying to these schools is because i transfered from singapore in my junior year, and my SAT score is 1490. SO by general consensus, Emory’s 9th rank is undeserved?</p>

39

<p>Why the focus on business schools? For high finance its hard to top HYPS, Dartmouth, Duke, Penn, Northwestern, Columbia, etc. You’d be better off with an econ degree at any of these if a high finance job is your goal.</p>

</p>

<p>Okay, those are great schools. But can the OP get in?</p>
