what's Wake's b-school program like? My son was accepted to Wake Forest - but not to the b-school since you have to apply as a sophomore, and to Indiana's Kelley School. I'm not worried about him getting into Wake's b-school if he goes there, I'm more concerned with which is a better school for business. And PLEASE do not refer me to those stupid rankings - any of them.

Some Ntable Stats
Wake: More than 90% of our faculty members hold a PhD or other doctoral degree.
Kelley: 70% have their terminal degreee (PhD or JD)
Kelley: Within 90 days after graduation, 91% of our undergraduate students had accepted job offers
Wake: somewhere around 98% pass their MBA test (don't remember exactly what its called) the first time. Wake also has a six-year program for MSA/MBA
Kelley: After graduation have to apply for MBA program. Then must take two years off for experience. Then can go back for MBA.

Both are top class so you really can't go wrong.

Not sure if this is what you meant but:

Wake Forest has over a 90% CPA exam pass rate (highest in the country). The undergraduate business program is rated #1 for academic quality as well as #1 for hardest working (Source: Bloomsberg BusinessWeek).

Wake Forest has a 5 year program (MSA) that is a combination of finance & accounting (masters degree at the end of five years). You apply to the business school sophomore year and then to FINM junior year.
