Is NYU really a top 5 buisness school?

Is it? I remember it was not for as long as I remember

There is no absolute authority on a school’s “ranking”.

This shows that according to the USNews ranking methodology (which I believe is just a reputation survey), it was the fifth ranked school.

Nothing more, nothing less.

based solely on the judgments of deans and senior faculty members at peer institutions.

Judging by NYU’s placement on Wall Street, it is definitely a Top 5 business program (best known for Finance).

Top school in one of the world’s greatest cities that provides more opportunities for internships and jobs than all others.

But by saying this you’d also say San Jose State is a top 10 engineering or tech school - because they are one of the leading job placement engines for Silicon Valley.

Then again - you are correct - I agree. As RichInPitt says, a ranking is one publications “opinion” based on a rating system they devised.

San Jose State…you’re movin’ on up!!!

For finance, it’s a who’s who of top schools - I thought we might see a Stony Brook or Hofstra or Pace…someone right there - but all big time schools.

Well, a similar list indeed ranks SJSU pretty high, so you are correct in your assessment:

San Jose State’s prominence in Silicon Valley is not a secret as it places well & much has been written on CC and elsewhere about its stellar job placement in high tech in the SV area.
