<p>Help me choose!!!!!! UVA Mcintere vs Berkeley HAAS VS Michigan ROSS</p>

<p>Which one should i go?</p>

<p>Seriously i am having a headache.</p>

<p>Money is not the issue, the only issue is that what business school can provide better education and respect.</p>

<p>I know all of the schools above are excellent, but which one is the best and which one is the least.</p>

2

<p>Before making a choice, remember that ALL of the three business schools are excellent, internationally renown. But you have to make a choice after all, and if “I” were you, I would choose Michigan Ross.</p>

3

<p>can you tell me the merits of Ross over the others?</p>

<p>???</p>

4

<p>McIntire easily has the biggest network for job opportunities in NYC.</p>

5

<p>^^^Not true. Ross is heavily recruited by all of the top east coast companies.</p>

6

<p>All 3 have excellent undergraduate business programs. The difference between the 3 programs are very minor. I think it comes down to where you see yourself spending next 4 years of your life. Some differences:</p>

<ol>
<li> Haas and Ross have both undergraduate and MBA program; at UVa the MBA is at Darden.</li>
<li> UVa is smallest of the three.</li>
<li> Berkeley and Michigan more liberal than UVa. </li>
<li> Michigan and UVa great sports atmosphere and school spirit.</li>
<li> UVa and Berkeley better weather than Michigan.</li>
<li> All 3 great campuses - I am partial to UVa.</li>
<li> All 3 are in great towns.</li>
</ol>

<p>Answer to “I know all of the schools above are excellent, but which one is the best and which one is the least” -comes down to where you will be most happy.</p>

</p>

<p>NYC is a subset of east coast</p>

8

<p>Academically I think they are all about equal. It all comes down to location. Where do you want to spend the next four years of your life?</p>

9

<p>"NYC is a subset of east coast "</p>

<p>Yes I am quite aware of that. Ross is recruited very well in NYC.</p>

10

<p>Good. Well McIntire numbers in NYC are above Ross’. Look at the placement figures for both schools. :)</p>

11

<p>Where are you getting these “placement figures” from? Either you show us evidence or your argument fails.</p>

<p>McIntire: <a href=“Redirect Notice”>Redirect Notice;

<p>Ross: <a href=“http://www.bus.umich.edu/pdf/EmploymentProfile2009.pdf[/url]”>http://www.bus.umich.edu/pdf/EmploymentProfile2009.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

13

<p>And where in the McIntire summary you provided does it say anything about New York placement? FYI, the mean reported base salary of Northeast Ross BBA graduates is higher than the entire mean reported total compensation of the MS in Commerce class of 2009. Go to page 35. Also, I don’t see GS, J.P. Morgan, or even Credit Suisse in the list of recruiting companies in the UVA report.</p>

14

<p>Sorry, wrong link</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.commerce.virginia.edu/career_services/destinations/2009_Destinations_Report.pdf[/url]”>http://www.commerce.virginia.edu/career_services/destinations/2009_Destinations_Report.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>On page 8 of that link, it says 27.2% of graduates in New York responded with a mean salary of $57,817 ($58k).</p>

<p>On page 35 of the Ross link, it says that 33.2% of graduates in the Northeast responded with a mean salary of $59,858 ($60k).</p>

<p>I realize that Ross does not release salary information pertaining directly to New York, but if you ask me, this is simply too close a margin for comparisons to be valid. You cannot claim that McIntire “easily has the biggest network for job opportunities in NYC” based on placement figures, and if you still believe that, then there’s something I missed in those reports that
I’d like you to directly point out.</p>

<p>Just FYI, it seems like Ross has a slight edge overall. 78% of McIntire graduates in 2009 accepted a full-time position as opposed to Ross’s 82% (pages 3 and 34 of each respective report) and a mean base salary of $55,254 as opposed to Ross’s $56,210 (page 3 and [Employment</a> Profile - University of Michigan Business School](<a href=“http://www.bus.umich.edu/EmploymentProfile/EmploymentOverview.htm?StudentType=BBAGrads]Employment”>http://www.bus.umich.edu/EmploymentProfile/EmploymentOverview.htm?StudentType=BBAGrads)).</p>

16

<p>Uhh, I did not mention salary, I said relative to the class sizes at both schools, McInitire places higher numbers of grads into ibanks and consulting firms.</p>

17

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s a direct statement, not a relative comparison based on class size. Also, meaningless unless you directly provide the evidence i.e. the exact pages on which you are finding your data.
In addition, you haven’t referenced any of the reports you posted in claiming that:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Now you’re not just talking about NYC, but about everywhere in general. Back your statements with solid page references or you lose.</p>

18

<p>Woah there. Taking the internet too seriously here, aren’t we?</p>

19

<p>Lol, it’s okay… just a bitter umich undergrad who didn’t get into UVA.</p>

20

<p>Laughing SO hard right now… Ad hominem attacks? Barboza, you’ve just lost all credibility.
Sorry, but your arguments fail, and so do you :D</p>
