<p>Okay, y’all should have fun with this. </p>

<p>I’ll give you the below list of schools, not in any particular order, and please rank them by your honest perceptions and biases about the schools. No facts or statistics necessary. </p>

<p>Just consider that:</p>

<li><p>The business school or the ability to get a good job in a financial or management field with a degree from the school is the main priority.</p></li>
<li><p>Have fun with it!</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Now for the list:</p>

<p>Case Western, Harvard (history or urban affairs), Ohio State, U Rochester, Indiana U, Bucknell, Purdue, U Dayton Honors, Miami of Ohio, U Chicago (environmental science), Colgate, Oberlin (history or enviro sci), U Michigan, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Kenyon (history).</p>

<p>So, have fun with it. Don’t worry about me or my stats, just say how you would honestly rank each school based on your personal biases. Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m seeing a general pattern, so that’s good. Figured Colgate was real good for business people even though it doesn’t offer business, so it’s good to reassure that thought. Also interesting what colleges most of y’all left out. I’ll keep that in mind.</p>
