<p>yes we all know that the business rankings are extremely subjective and aren’t all that accurate. Instead of using raw numbers and specific criteria the business rankings go by the opinions of deans and faculty at accredited business schools. Yes 9 spots may not be a wide margin but it is significant enough to the point where Penn State will be higher for at least the next year and probably longer.</p>
<p>If we look at trends Babson was ranked #32 last year and this year it is at #29. You must see the subjectivity right away in that so many schools are tied with the same score. For example, Bentley is at a 3.0 tied with I believe 3 or 4 other schools meanwhile GW and BU are at a 3.1 and the difference in rank is 9 spots. Same thing with Penn State we are tied with 3 other schools for the same score.</p>
<p>This arguement really is childish and we all should just forget it.</p>
