I'm really surprised that Lehigh, Villanova, and Rutgers are ranked so low.

thanks a lot^^^

these rankings kill me, you can tell they change them drastically every year so that people just buy their issue. for example, villanova was 12th last year, and now theyre 71, a school cant fall that much in one year...

I think Villanova was ranked #12 by businessweek, not usnews. Of course, that just proves the point about rankings even more.

Probably because Temple's BSchool is just as good.

Temple shouldn't even be mentioned alongside Lehigh and Villanova. I just don't get how its B-school can be ranked amongst Lehigh's and Villanova's. For starters, its so damn easy to get into Temple, and the quality of kids that go there is crappy, and I'm not even exaggerating. The kids that go here are those that get absolutely terrible grades in high school because either they're a) dumb or b) slackers that don't care about grades at all or c) both a and b. The same can be said for a lot of the schools on that list.
