<p>A major school, yes. But not a top 10 MBA school by any ranking, general consensus or any other criteria (avg GMAT, acceptance rate, avg salary, etc.) I have seen. </p>
<p>It might be debatable to use NYU as the #10 school, especially for when some of the people on Bloomberg obtained their MBA, but would otherwise have used UVA (Darden), Cal/Berkeley (Haas) or Duke (Fuqua) before Yale.</p>
<p>
Totally anecdotal but for what it’s worth, the three people I know from Haverford who got their MBAs from NYU Stern all earned their degrees from Stern with distinction (top 10%).</p>
<p>No doubt that there are many smart people at Haverford, although having gone through an MBA program, it is many times the hardest workers who graduate with distinction as opposed to the smartest. One of my goals of business school was actually to not graduate with distinction as having done so would have required taking away from other parts of the experience that I was more concerned about. Not that I was smart enough to have graduated with distinction anyway, it turned out.</p>
<p>Hey OP, this is completely off topic, but where is Berkeley on your MBA list? I show them as ranked #8 BW, #7 USNWR. ahead of NYU which is ranked #14 and #10, respectively.</p>
<p>I said a few posts above that Cal Berkeley would probably be around #10-13. I wasn’t really going off of latest rankings, which I always find a little off from general consensus; plus Berkeley appears to be more highly regarded in the last few years although I guess so is NYU (both seemingly at the expense of UVA and Duke). Graduating from B-school earlier in the decade, I don’t remember Cal/Berkeley on anyone’s top 10 list or in a reputable book published every year called “Insider’s Guide to the Top 10 Business Schools”. </p>
<p>Also, in reviewing these profiles, for some reason, Berkeley MBAs were much less frequently listed than any of the top 10 I used or UVA, Duke, Yale, Cornell. Maybe, it’s just geographic distribution but that didn’t seem to hurt Stanford, UChicago, Northwestern (Kellogg) at all.</p>
<p>Here’s the updated list:</p>

<p>^Except that I don’t know if it’s truly accurate to compare the 20 entries of Swarthmore grads to the 70-100 entries each of Amherst, Williams, Middlebury, Colgate grads.</p>
<p>^^ Nah, don’t worry about it, it looks great!</p>
<p>Nice list. I think Haverford will get some extra attention on this board :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I think so too.</p>
<p>Go Haverford! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, go Haverford!!!</p>
<p>Patriot League is well represented with Holy Cross, Colgate,and Bucknell.</p>
<p>^^ Oh yeah, that’s right.</p>
