I would probably pay a little more going to wisconsin, but is it really worth it considering that carlson has good job placement and is around the same level is wisconsin? I think wisconsin is ranked higher but does it really make a difference considering the schools are on the same level. Also with wisconsin you are not guaranteed a slot in the business school so would it be wise to go to carlson where i am guaranteed a spot in the business program?

Carlson has a great recruiting department. At the end of your 4 years what's more important is landing a job... not necessarily the "quality" of the education, a lot you learn on the job...

so would you say recruiting is way more important than the rankings? because they have a lot of recruiters at carlson. on the tour thing they said that there were over 600 recruiting companies for about 450ish students. is that normal for most schools or is that really high?

I'd say Wisconsin. In fact Wisc has more top-notch recruiters including top investment banks. The university in general is somewhat better respected.

Well look at it this way... at the end of the day, rankings doesn't matter.. it's all about if you have a job or not...

I mean, I'd rather have a job out of college and come out from a crappy school than come out of Harvard with no job...

That's just an extreme case though..

Rankings are not everything, it really depends on what you want from a school.. I'm not familiar with Wisconsin, but I know Carlson is great.
