| "It seems private schools will be ranked higher in the BW rankings from what I can see 9 publics were taken out from the top 25 in US news and replaced by 8 privates."
part of this ranking is based on job placement/SAT/GPA, and you know that private schools will benefit from this. Schools like URichmond are not easy to get into at all................ and private school business majors come from wealthier backgrounds , have more networking opportunities b/c of their parents, are usually more job-oriented, so they would have better job placements on average.
Georgetown can potential make the top 10 list on BW, because the job placement is so good there, and the kids are brilliant statistically. schools like Wisc and Washington will have to sacrifice.
i feel like this ranking isnt about the QUALITY of business education, it's rather the quality of the student body (which is important, coz it influences networking opportunities), school's general prestige (this helps kids to get jobs) and how employers value these schools' grads (also reflected from job placement). it's a list for people who want to make a lot of money, but dont necessarily care about how good the business school is ACADEMICALLY.
but, what's the no.1 reason people do undergrad business? they all want to make tons of money. |
