<p>Yeah, Babson might have moved up 6 places in a year but still only 64% of its student body had a job by graduation. Really do you wanna be there, where you might not land a job by graduation???</p>
<p>Wharton has been slowly moving down through the years. Some don’t even consider them to be the ultra elite anymore. Now it’s just Harvard and Stanford for MBA. UPenn is all reputation, little student life.</p>
<p>If any ranking system ranks Wharton anywhere below the first spot (undergrad level). Their integrity towards these rankings can be significantly doubted. And everyone knows that ND is a good school. But above MIT, Wharton, Stern, Ross. Come on!</p>
<p>Really, all rankings are arbitrary but this list does seem wack. Stern all the way down there while Norte Dame is 1? And nothing beats MIT, Wharton and Berkeley, really.</p>
<p>Business Week ratings are joke and only change so they can sell more magazines. No school could change that much in a year, unless it burns down!</p>
<p>dibbasatya – where are you getting your numbers? i just looked at babson’s website. 95% of seniors last year had jobs, and that was down from their usual 98% due to the economy.</p>
<p>Business Week rankings are a joke. Check out US News for a more accurate ranking that actually lines up with where the best faculty and recruiters want to go: [Best</a> Undergraduate Business Programs - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/spec-business]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/spec-business)
UT has similar placement to Virginia with stronger academics, especially in accounting, so there’s really no reason for Virginia to be so far ahead of UT. US News ranked UT tied with Virginia for good reason.</p>
<p>From the business major forum: I would expect ND in the 12-15 range and Emory and BC would be after it. I would bump UNC, NYU and CMU into the top 10 and USC would probably be ahead of ND as well. Cornell should be knocked down near 10th as Berkeley, Michigan, Texas, NYU and UNC have stronger programs, Virginia could stand to be knocked down a couple slots and Georgetown could stand to move up a few.</p>
<p>BW rankings are a bit off, to say the least…
Notre Dame should be placed in the 15 to 20 range…
Penn is number one for sure, followed by MIT or Berkeley, then Michigan or Virginia, then UT or NYU or perhaps UNC.</p>
