Business Week Online Rankings

<p>one of the most respected business magazines? What are you talking about? People refer to business week as the ‘fast food’ of business journalism.</p>

<p>BYU is well ranked because of a few special things dealing with the school, it’s a school that actually has some pretty good placement.</p>

<p>emory at 5th too
though it feels good since i am probably going there, i know it is not top5…</p>

<p>What does it mean that Cornell has “Academic Quality” of 32nd place. Is this refering to the Biz School AQ, or the school on the whole?</p>

<p>Also what is this one based on, I would think it would be higher due to top professors, high scoring SAT students…</p>

<p>o i mean the university in general is not top 50. not the bschool</p>

<p>how come brigham young is so highly ranked? </p>

<p>I really want this question answered.</p>

<p>hahahaha okay dcfa, well i think im going to beleive a magazine that has established itself so well that cry babies like you spend hours complaining about their rankings. I mean it is a difficult choice deciding whether to beleive some kid in a forum or a magazine that causes stirs like this.</p>

<p>the undergrad bschool is top 10-11 depending on where you read.</p>

<p>can someone who goes to kelley explain this to me: <a href=“http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/business/2002-2004/bachelor.html[/url]”>http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/business/2002-2004/bachelor.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It’s the course requirements page. What is the highest required mathematics course for Kelley students?</p>

<p>Also, why isn’t Kelley on Lehman Bros recruiting contacts page? I’m not saying Kelley students don’t get recruited. I know the top kids do. But I was led to believe that most ibanks consider Indiana a “target school”. <a href=“http://www.lehman.com/careers/americas/rec_school.shtml?nav1=rc&nav2=School%20Contacts&nav3=&nav4=[/url]”>http://www.lehman.com/careers/americas/rec_school.shtml?nav1=rc&nav2=School%20Contacts&nav3=&nav4=&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Brief Calculus.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why should I complain? My school is ranked higher than Indiana according to both rankings (USNews and Business Week)</p>

<p>And why would I crying over a naive high school kid who really doesn’t know anything about the industry?</p>

<p>Exaclty, why are you complaining? Also, it seems like you have no retort to the fact that my view, which is supported by a very well respected magazine (whether you notice it or not). Maybe you should think before you make stupid comments like that.</p>

<p>uhyea, don’t worry about him, he is in a bad mood or something today, going around challenging everyone as if he is donald trump! lmao</p>

<p>There must be some pretty smart kids at Morehouse, and Howard.</p>

<p>BW is a well respected magazine. But it is also true that it is a for-profit magazine. The website that has the rankings also has a large advertisement for Indiana Univeristy - Kellog, which I’m sure they paid lots of money for. Coincidence?</p>

<p><a href=“Businessweek - Bloomberg”>Businessweek - Bloomberg;

<p>Also on that site, “Indeed, nine of the Top 10 undergraduate programs have highly ranked MBA programs as well.”</p>

<p>Coincidence? No, thats because their methodology of ranking favors schools with better MBA programs because of faculty ranking and “academic quality”. To my knowledge, they don’t even take the student body into consideration.</p>

<p>Really? They’re well respected? I don’t think so. At least their rankings anyway. When you look at MBA rankings they ranked Northwestern as #1 and Harvard as #5. Are you going to believe that too? The Business Week rankings/methodology aren’t great. Whether you like to believe it or not. </p>

<p>You’re just biased because you’re probably looking to go to Indiana in the future and seeing it well ranked is making you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and inflating your ego.</p>

<p>dcfca - why are jealous? Y cant u see that IU is one of the best b-schools?</p>

<p>Do all the IB firms recurit at Howard, and Morehouse?</p>

<p>most do. Even Lazard recruits at Howard and they’re considered to be very elite when it comes to recruiting.</p>

<p>consider it one stop shopping.</p>

<p>HAHAHAH, actually dcfca I do currently go to IU, and your saying i dont know much about this industry or its placement, thats odd since I have an internship w/ one of the largest bb firms there is this summer. Also i noticed that you go to ut-austin and you are acting like an elitist when it comes to ibanking, if im not mistaken you website indicates 59 students going into ibanking this year, and hey isnt that strange, thats the same number of students going to ib from iu this year. Once again, you should make sure you have some validity behind your comments before you speak, you will keep on giving ut-austin a bad name if you continue this behavior. Also, you can keep coming up with convoluted reasons why the rankings were created as they do, but your not going to get much favor with your reasoning. I also believe that northwesterns mba quality is arguably at a similar level as a harvard mba, per their placement, but thats not what we are arguing here, maybe a few years down the line you can make more dumb comments and we can argue about mba programs then.</p>

<p>well im goin to IU in fall and i personally dont feel IU kelley is a “target” school not just yet, the ones posted in the BB’s firms are gona be the best of the best and schools like IU would obviously not be posted there but IU is gud enough for the ibanks to know about it and come on campus for recruiting so it aint wharton but it is respectable enough to have the oppurtunities. and in regards to “backoffice and frontoffice” jobs that would probaly depend on the qualifications of the IU kelley student. im prety sure a 3.7+ kelley student with solid background should be able to get a “gud” position at a prestigious firm if the interviewer likes em.</p>
