USNWR Rankings-

McCombs MBA: 18
Mays MBA: T-33

McCombs Undergrad: T-6
Mays Undergrad: T-18

Mays is also a "Tier 1 business school" and is really not that far behind, in rankings, from McCombs.


There's no lieing, McCombs is ranked better, and may give you better opportunities upon graduation. I have heard from friends at UT though, about how they hate the size of their classes and how they dislike many profs because they seem to not care about teaching their classes (strictly speaking on undergraduate McCombs). Mays is smaller, and that could be better for the prospective student. That's about all I can say as I'm not a business student.
In the world of college rankings, that's a big difference. Also, depending on specialty UT is the way to go. Their accounting MBA is #1 in the nation and has been for 3 years. In reality, Mays class sizes aren't that much smaller. We use "breakout" sessions to flub the numbers and lower our class sizes.

In the end, it really comes down to which school fits your personality and learning style better. Visit each campus. Talk to the professors and advisors and then see where you are more comfortable.
