<p>As usual, Michigan did well, although it did drop in a couple of fronts.</p>
<ol>
<li>Business school:
Ross was ranked #13, a slight improvement from last year's ranking of #14. Looking at the statistics (placement rates upon graduation, average starting salaries etc...), very little separates #4 from #14. </li>
</ol>
<p>As always, Ross was highly ranked in most sub-fields, particularly Accounting, International, Management, Marketing and Operations.</p>
<p>Where Ross seems to be hurting is in the Recruiter Assessment rating. Its score was 3.9/5.0. Although this is concerning, it is also easily fixed. Ross just needs to work on charming recruiters.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Engineering:
Michigan's CoE improved to #8 from #9. Michigan did very well in all sub-fields. It is the only university to have been ranked among the top 10 in 10 of the 11 sub-fields. Aerospace, Environmental, Industrial, Mechanical and Nuclear were all ranked among the top 5 while Biomedical made a leap to #7 from #12.</p></li>
<li><p>Law School:
Michigan Law School dropped to #10 this year, from #7 last year. It is hard to understand how Michigan dropped here. Its assessment scores according to Academics, Judges and Big Law are 4.5/4.6/4.7 respectively. Only 4 other law schools have a higher average reputational scores. Virtually all industry rankings I have seen have Michigan Law ranked between #5 and #7, so #10 is a little low, but again, the difference between #4 and #14 is pretty insignificant. Placement rates, starting salaries, media LSAT scores, Bar passage rates etc... are all fairly similar across schools ranked between #4 and #14.</p></li>
<li><p>Medical School:
Michigan Medical School Research ranking remained at #10. The Medical school's peer ratings were also very high (4.55/5.0 average). Only 7 medical schools had a higher peer average rating.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Although not as important, Michigan Medical Primary Care ranking improved to #8 in the nation, which is a pretty impressive jump from #20 last year.</p>
<p>The schools of Education and Public Policy both dropped out of the top 10, but remained ranked among the top 12.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there were no new rankings in the traditional disciplines.</p>
