<p>Babson went up 6!!! wow!</p>

<p>Maybe you should post that in the Babson forum ishamig?</p>

<p>(I don’t see how that relates to IU)</p>

<p>Could someone please explain why ND is #1 in business? I got a following link showing ND is 24/29 in 2004-2005. BW ranked ND as #24 in 2004. Would someone be able to find why ND can advance from #24 to #1 in 6 years. Did I miss something here?</p>

<p>If there is no similar advancement from other major sources, I may conclude that BW’s ranking is an outlier.</p>

<p>ace550,</p>

<p>Well the first reason might have to do with the fact that the surveys you posted ranked schools based upon their graduate business schools, while the BW survey that indy88 posted was for undergraduate business schools.</p>

<p>(Note that the 2004 BW survey listed includes schools such as Northwestern, Chicago, UCLA, Stanford, Dartmouth and Columbia–all which have only graduate business schools, not undergraduate business schools.)</p>
