<p>Penn State/Smeal ranks 22nd in 2012, up from 25th in 2011! Still #1 for Recruiter Survey portion of the rankings. </p>

<p>Great news! Thanks for sharing.</p>
<p>No problem. Overall a great ranking but it seems the “Academic Quality” ranking keeps Smeal from an even higher overall ranking. In looking at how Academic Quality is determined it seems the SAT score average and even more so the teacher/student ratio (ranked 85th) impacts the overall ranking. On the flip side the recruitment rank gives it a huge lift.</p>
