I'm sure the percentages are the same

Most likely not true compared to HYPSMC...
It's not very intelligent to make such claim.</p>
<p>Haas undergrad ranks 7th or 11th this year. Don't remember which, but no longer 3rd.</p>
<p>^^ it depends on which ranking you look at--BusinessWeek, etc.</p>
<p>Haas undergrad is No. 3 according to USNWR. Haas MBA is around 7 or 11 like you say.</p>
<p>Businessweek rankings are more fluid.</p>

<p>Averaging up all the major rankings USNWR, FT, BW, Economist etc. Haas MBA ranks solid top 10 -- 7 or 8 but only in the Wall Street Journal ranking has it been a steady top 5.</p>
<p>As regards the Haas undergrad shift from #3 last year to what was it #11 in this year's ranking: which was more ridiculous the #3 or the #11 ranking or both of them? That much variation betrays a fluidity to the point of stupidity. (That's rap.) The clear drag was an "academic quality" index which among other things includes whether or not students have internships (uh, is that part of academic quality?) Haas places well and at high salaries. How are internships that relevant? Also, I'd like to see the other measures compared to other 2-year schools. Things like faculty-student ratio might be extremely variable between 2- or 4-year programs.</p>

<p>Mike Ainsworth and Ronnie Davenport picked the wrong school. If they were enrolled in the big name privates, they would have graduated. Berekely held its standards and both were sent packing.</p>

<p>Standards, eh? Are you talking about those same standards that triggered NCAA probation on the Cal football team because of Ainsworth and Davenport, including loss of scholarships and bowl ineligibility for a year? Cal was one of the few schools in recent history that had both its football and basketball teams on probation in at the same time. If Cal had such strong 'standards', then how exactly did these kinds of scandals happen?</p>

Applicants should be admitted solely based on their merits and not their backgrounds.

Depends what kind of a background. Limited opportunities (to me) are alright for explaining crummy clubs (or lack thereof). However, a student complaining about lack of $$ should apply for finaid or go to a 'lower' school who gives more $$.</p>
