<p>Soadquake, talk to Dean Gilligan and see if he thinks USNews means anything. I’m not in Cockrell or anything, but at McCombs, all that the alumnus and dean care about are rankings and the McCombs brand. Like I said, this may be different for other colleges at UT though, but the rankings everyone takes seriously are Forbes, BW and USNews. I agree with what you’re saying though, the concept of rankings means little.</p>
<p>JHB, it doesn’t even matter what those recruiters that the WSJ polled think. When I just got an investment banking internship and see kids getting front office FT jobs at McKinsey, Goldman, BAML, Conoco, HFs and JP Morgan, does it even really matter what other recruiters think?</p>
