<p>i am currently at cornell, and i wnatd to know if this thing is valid or not, does it mean anything???</p>
<p>Cornell is #25 on this list</p>
<p>U of Chicago is 14 and Rice is 20, and the other schools I am waiting for are all in the top 16</p>
<p>Well think of it this way. Cornell has the 3rd largest (After Berkeley and Michigan) graduating class with 3565 graduates. Moreover, many kids graduating from Cornell's specific schools (Engineering, Hotel come to mind) aren't going to be trying for business/law schools. That is probably why Upenn is ranked so low as well - Wharton graduates don't really need a Harvard MBA to be exceptionally successful in the business world.</p>
<p>Most of the schools ranked higher than Cornell are Liberal Arts Schools, and to reflect this I think the % for Cornell would be more accurate if it only counted students in say, CAS and ILR.</p>
<p>yeah i thought about that as well.......</p>
<p>but wat about Harvard Law School profile, brown has only 1600 per grade, and cornell has around 3000, and brown has more enrolled than cornell...so it just got me thinking, but then again, brown is basically just a CAS, and cornell has an engineering, etc....</p>
<p>you must take Cornell's unique nature into account. </p>
<p>ILR - 48% (or something like that) just go on to get jobs since the career opportunities for ilr graduates are extremely abundant. </p>
<p>AAP - who goes to law/business schools from here?</p>
<p>Hotel - MBA schools probably, but not for many and not right away</p>
<p>CALS - AEM for business, but that's it</p>
<p>Engineering - probably a very very small % into law, a bit more into MBA programs, but very few overall none the less</p>
<p>HumEc - again, very specialized school. PAM is the only real big law school feeder. The rest go into other fields or get jobs. </p>
<p>CAS - compare the rest of the schools on the list to CAS' numbers.</p>
<p>Take those rankings with a grain of salt. You wont be affording yourself any more opportunities at a school like Rice vs. Cornell (except for some easier grades).</p>
<p>Those rankings are outdated.</p>
