<p>it’s gonna take a lot more than an article in business week to move wharton out of the #1 position in the minds of basically everyone, though.</p>
<p>Rankings don’t mean anything. And I said that when Penn was #1 too.</p>
<p>Everyone please listen to BusinessWeek and don’t accept an offer from Wharton if you get into either McIntire and/or Mendoza.</p>
<p>i agree that wharton’s academic program is still #1, but businessweek found that mcintire and mendoza had better job placement…</p>
<p>Whaa?? No way Wharton is not #1, regardless of this article.</p>
<p>And no way Stern is that low either! I mean, #15 makes no sense! I know IB has taken a hit, but not that much.</p>
<p>dang…how’d that happen??</p>
<p>Wharton hates businessweek for their methodology. I’d wager that fact had quite a bit do with it.</p>
<p>are these guys crazy?? stern 15??</p>
<p>@Rudess: Word. :D</p>
<p>Well there goes Businessweek’s credibility.</p>
<p>If there were anything close to a universally acknowledged and immutable fact of college rankings, it’s that Wharton is by far the best undergraduate business program in the world.</p>
<p>And I don’t think anyone would accuse me of being a cheerleader for Wharton…</p>
<p>these are poor rankings.
how does your #1 school have a recruiter survey rank of 52 when that is one of the most important things in the long run?</p>
<p>and how do notre dame and virginia have better facilities & service than wharton?
these suck. i feel like they were just tired of putting wharton at #1. and i think they give way too much credit to notre dame. i dont see them as a top 5.</p>
<p>i laugh at this haha…</p>
<p>i have wharton around #10 on my list these days… most rankings magazines do as well</p>
<p>Wharton outperforms the top 2 schools in most categories (median starting wage, job placement, class size) it lost because of the student scores (#13 overall) which count for 30% of BW’s rankings</p>
<p>Right, and Wharton has boycotted the student scores section every year until this year. To participate, Wharton has to send BW a list of student contact information, which they’re not willing to do. </p>
<p>This year, Wharton sent its students a link to the BW survey, and I’m the only person I know who responded, as most students considered it junk. Since the student scores count for quite a bit, I’m not surprised Wharton isn’t ranked 1.</p>
<p>I would also say that whenever I leave campus and meet up with other b-school undergrads, the other kids are always way too proud of their schools, and jealous that I go to Wharton.</p>
<p>a student survey is bogus. this is because wharton students would have incredibly high standards. i mean, if you look at college review websites, harvard has an average student rating because its students expect it to be perfect.</p>
<p>LOL @ Rudess
I completely agree with ya on that one :P</p>
<p>woohooo. wharton? your money is better spent on hookers.</p>
<p>200K on hookers would’ve been insane</p>
