<p>CMU Tepper</p>

3

<p>I actually heard that Tepper was pretty crappy in terms of alumni and recruitment.... but thanks for the post!</p>

4

<p>I actually think its on par with Cornell. But then again when I was at Cornell the program was in its infancy, and now its growing by leaps and bounds. So what do I know.</p>

5

<p>Tepper is actually the reason behind Newsweek's rating of CMU as the top college to get a job. Its top mode companies are all Top Wall St. companies (Merill, Goldman, Deloitte, Citi, etc) and its median is 60k, similar to that of Stern. It is definitely a top tier Business school and has a sterling job network. </p>

<p><a href="http://tepper.cmu.edu/current-students/current-business-undergrads/career-center/surveys-and-employment-statistics/download.aspx?id=1414%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://tepper.cmu.edu/current-students/current-business-undergrads/career-center/surveys-and-employment-statistics/download.aspx?id=1414&lt;/a> -- Post grad survey for last year's grads</p>

<p>It has grown tremendously in the past years, especially in the past 2 years as it has reduced its acceptance rate from 20ish%, to 13%, and this year is probably less than 10%. Avg rank of students for last year was top 4%, and this year will probably be lower.</p>

<p>Tepper as well as Stern/Ross/Sloan/Haas/McDonough are of the same league, they are all the next best thing to Wharton.</p>

6

<p>wow...... thanks......wow........ I guess those people over at the business school thread are shooting around lies lol.( puts CMU tepper on his list)</p>

7

<p>oh and thanks to Cayuga red for suggesting!</p>

<p>Haha, glad I could help. Many are misguided as the school is quite small and its incredible gains in reputation and networking has only been recent since the 2001 record 55 million donation by alumnus David. A. Tepper. The school has the lowest faculty:student ratio of 5:1 due to it only keeping around 80+spots for each freshman class, about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of its peers. This allows Tepper students to really benefit from individual attention and focused learning of quantitative and analytical decision making. </p>

<p>FYI: The Tepper school's acceptance rate and rank/SAT this year puts it arguably above comp sci as CMU's most selective school.</p>

<p>I do what I can.</p>

That sounds like an interesting article. Is it available online?</p>

<p>Yep, America's</a> 25 Hot Schools | Newsweek Kaplan College Guide | Newsweek.com</p>

<p>"HOTTEST FOR GETTING A JOB
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Hands-on experience is a key part of life at Carnegie Mellon, says Michael Steidel, director of admissions. The 1,360 students in the freshman class apply to one of the school's 12 programs; computer science, engineering and drama are most popular. The school takes pride in being on the cutting edge in every field and encourages students to think about applying what they learn to the real world. "We start working with students as freshmen to get them thinking about what's possible in terms of what your education can do," Steidel says. That approach seems to be paying off both in the number of applications (they've more than doubled in the last decade) and in the value of a Carnegie Mellon degree: about 70 percent of students have a job offer when they graduate (an additional 30 percent go right to graduate school)."</p>

<p>There was another article too which noted CMU's sterling job network the year after, and even listed Tepper as an overlap with Wharton.</p>

<p>Ah yes, those "hot" schools...</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure what Newsweek means when they say hot is that the school is currently unusually popular for getting a job. I think "top college for getting a job" would be one of the HYPSM schools.</p>

<p>Edit: Also, that article's from August 2004. The economy's changed a little bit since then.</p>

13

<p>It cracked me up that Newsweek called Cornell the hottest Ivy.</p>

<p>What the hell does that even mean?</p>

14

<p>Well it is a "rising" school. Wouldn't call it "unpopular" though.</p>

15

<p>^It's the one with the warmest weather... wait, isn't that Penn?</p>

16

<p>I don't know. It's a ludicrous concept. To call an Ivy "the hottest" is like to call an Ivy "the worst". They are all really popular among students. And they all offer exceptional educations.</p>

17

<p>lol my thread got kinda off topic but by no means stop, I like where this discussion is going! =]</p>

18

<p>Cornell -> College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) -> Department of Applied Economics and Management (AEM)</p>
