<p>Pierre, It sounds like you really don’t know what’s going in with Villanova’s Business School since Jim Danko became the Dean about 4 years ago. He has spent time in some of the finest undergrad and grad business schools in the country(Michigan, UNC-Chapel Hill and most recently he was the assistant dean at the Tuck School @Dartmouth.) That is after his own stint as an entrepreneur. He has totally revamped the curriculum (my S in a freshman there.) My D graduated in 05 from VSB and she had a job before graduation. Even though she does not live in New York, her salary was similar to those of her friends in the finance world in New York, and in some cases, it was higher by several thousands of dollars. She was a marketing/finance major. The school has TOTALLY changed in the last few years. They are accepting top notch applicants–these kids have SATs of 1300-1400plus/1600 and ACT’s of 31-33. They usually don’t even look at an application with less than a 3.75 GPA.(All of these facts were reiterated at accepted students day and during freshman orientation.) Several of my son’s friends who are in the business school turned down Boston College, UNC-CH and NYU’s Stern to come to Villanova. My S’s roommate’s first choice was Dartmouth. I would agree with you, Pierre, if this were 5 years ago, but Villanova has gone through quite the transformation.</p>
