| ... compared to the nerdy, social deprived, Ivy League graduates, who want money, prestige, and worry about themselves? |

| the recruiter ranking is a little off if they rank Emory 56th and wharton anything outside top 10.
This thing is saying recruiters would take someone from Iowa at number 6 over someone from Wharton at 17. That is laughable. If the rankings is not saying that what is it saying and why would it matter if it was anything else? That should be the recruiter opinions on the school and i guess this says Iowa is better in recruiter eyes than Umich, Stern, Wharton, MIT, UNC, Berkley(well everything is better than berkeley at 41), and G-town. This is not placement, that is another ranking, that is suppossed to be opinions by recruiters so i guess we all should be looking at Iowa. Well i guess they like people from Iowa so much they give them an average salary of 37,500, same with the number 1 BYU at 45,000 i guess mormons don't care for money, check out Number 5 Indiana at 44,000 on average. If recruiters liked them so much wouldn't they offer more?

| Remember that for the mean starting salaries for graduates, much has to do with the area of the school, and where it's recruiters are from.
The cost of living for the midwest is significantly cheaper than the northeast. Nearly all non-elite schools (not top 25) get their first job in their region, for example, Indiana grads would get Midwest jobs.
Because of their location, they won't have as high as a salary, but on the other hand, their house isn't going to cost as much, meals, etc. | |

| This school is still going to be a turnoff for non-mormons because for all you know after graduating, you might now even be able to find a job in the area. | |

| oh, you edited. anyway, BYU, no matter what recruiters say about it, is not a school for everyone. | |

| The true rankings for you should be based on what you want to do. If IB/PE/HF then look for schools who have plenty of alumni working in these positions. I would personally look at the type of jobs people got at graduation as an indication of a school's quality. If McKinsey is what your ideal job out of business school then Kellogg, Wharton, HBS, Chicago all have 30+ offers so those maybe schools you want to attend. | |

| I am so glad McKinsey started to recruit interns from UMICH. I can wait to apply for that job next year. Hopefully once our new school is finished we will be even higher | |
