| Considering I'll likely be there soon, I appreciate you dissing it beyond reason. Also, considering my father is an alum who is infinitely more successful than you or any of your classmates, friends, etc. will ever be, you have no right to make such an asinine statement. There are plenty of kids who chose Temple (including the honors program) over better schools. Also, what you said may be true in some respects (because Temple believes essentially everyone deserves a chance at education--which I disagree with), but it's not reflective of the business school in the slightest. |

| You'd be crazy to transfer there from BU.
There are exceptions to every school. There are dumb people that go to smart schools and you always wonder how they got in, just like there are always smart people that go to crappy schools because of financial or other reasons (proximity to home, etc). I was just making a general statement on the strength of the student body at that school, and many others on that ranking list (mostly schools that are below 25). I just hold the belief that you should just go to the most prestigious school as possible, coz quite frankly, a lot of these business school rankings are BS, especially if you consider schools ranked outside the top 10 by both US News and Businessweek. There's such a huge difference in those two rankings. | |

| Minnesota and Ohio State over Georgetown? Yep that's right. That's how stupid these rankings are, especially for schools ranked outside the top 10. | |

| yeah, but Ohio State and Minnesota suck compared to Georgetown overall. Some of the top kids in Carlson and Fisher wouldn't even get into Georgetown. | |

| BW rankings are just as bad; Emory is better than MIT? laughable.
The fact that Notre Dame, and BYU are muttered in the same breath as Ross, Haas, and Stern is equally ridiculous. | |

| is WashU Olin good? I really like them and I really want to go there. I know they are known for not having the best career placement stats, but these past years they've gotten significantly better at recruiting big companies. | |

| ^ Yes, it's good...but, overpriced IMO.
Although, I do hear they give good merit aid. | |

| Price is not the biggest concern to me though, but I would think Ross is overpriced (even though I know I can't get in) because I'm OOS. | |

| UIUC is a good choice. My cousin went to UIUC and loved it. She was an architecture major from CA (my uncle was originally from Chicago)...UIUC is tough to beat for reputation and cost. | |
