"Elon did not make the Business Week rankings of the top 100 business schools."
For what it's worth (I am still trying to determine this myself) It's not that Elon did not make the Rankings, as in they were below a certain number. They were unranked due to lack if response to the survey by recruiters.
From the Business week article:
"Response Rate Counts
Before determining the final ranking, we first had to review each school's response rates on the student and recruiter surveys. Of the 137 programs that were eligible for ranking, a total of 36 were eliminated. Thirteen were eliminated for low response rates in the student survey: Auburn University, Florida State University, Howard University, Loyola College Maryland, Mercer University, Rochester Institute of Technology, State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo, University of Alabama, University of Central Florida, University of Georgia, University of Hawaii, University of the Pacific, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
A further 17 were cut for low response rates in the recruiter survey: Butler University, Clarkson University, Creighton University, East Tennessee State University, Illinois State University, Ohio Northern University, Seattle University, Seton Hall University, SUNY Geneseo, St. Louis University, The College of New Jersey, Tulane University, University of Denver, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, University of Vermont, and West Virginia University. An additional six schools were eliminated because of low response rates on both surveys: California Lutheran University, Elon University, Iona College, Pacific Lutheran University, University of Tulsa, and University of Utah.
For the 101 schools remaining, the student survey score counts for 30% of the final ranking, with the recruiter survey score contributing 20%. Starting salaries and the MBA feeder school measure contribute 10% each. The academic quality measure supplies the remaining 30%"
My daughter is still considering both Tulane, Elon, and TCNJ, all of which made this list.
