IS BW internationally published in different languages etc? How much of an authority is it? Will business recruiters use this at all or will anyone who counts generally be influenced by this?

Just an example, CMU's Tepper(btw I'm not going there so I'm not trying to promote it) was only founded about 5 years ago. Before, it had a program for undergrad, but I don't think it had even close to the resources it has today. Also, it has a class size of 80, which probably hurts it in this type of ranking, even though they do generally well. Also, the average student in Tepper is much more qualified than an average student at a school like Indiana.

Acceptence rate was 20% last year to Tepper. This year, they doubled in apps, so I would guess that acceptence rate dropped to 10-15%.

why is IU at 10 a joke? The school is really just that good.

Sounds about right. Villanova, Lehigh, BYU, Emory and Notre Dame are ranked a little high, but otherwise, I think it is a fair ranking.

very fairly ranking, students' performance, school's facility, and corporate opiniosn are both factored into it
