Has the business school declined in prestige?

According to the undergraduate business school rankings on Businessweek*, RBS has declined in ranking from #32 in 2007 to #73 in 2012. That’s a pretty significant drop by most standards. I know that these rankings aren’t exactly accurate or trustworthy, but this must signify something.

I’m in the process of making my college decision and RBS is an option. How much weight should I give these rankings? Has the business school really declined that much in reputation since 2007? For reference, I’m also considering UDel. In 2007, it wouldn’t have even been a thought; I would’ve chosen Rutgers. But now… I’m not so sure.

I’d appreciate any helpful input. Thanks!
