UIUCs legitimacy

<p>i know they are ranked 12th on US News, but what is the value of an UG degree from their business school? I know a lot of "bad" kids (sub 2000 SAT, no ECs, lousy GPA) get in because from the UIUC forum, but then how is it still ranked so high? For reference, it's tied with Washington U in St. Louis and Cornell -____-''.... </p>

<p>Anyway, what is the mobility afterwards? I'm talking about the ease of getting a job and the benefits and stuff... Also how big is the alumni network?? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, replaced UIUC with "Krannert school of Management at Purdue" for the above questions... got in there too so far.. (BUT I WANT MCCOMBS PLEASE!!)</p>

<p>Anyway, thanks again</p>

<p>I got into those 2 places as well and had the same Questions. I also got into UMCP and new college of florida!</p>

<p>not sure about recognition on a national scale but I know that if you plan to work/stay in Chicago a degree from UIUC bus is very legitimate and competitive with other top tier business degree</p>

<p>It's a great program overall, but its solid accounting program brings its ranking up.</p>
