I said Fordham was a fine school. I was simply pointing out that OP keeps mentioning ‘prestige’ and rank and Fordham is not typically known for either. Not denigrating Gabelli and Fordham…it’s a fine school. So we don’t need to hammer on I insulted Fordham.
Op seems to be looking for Wharton, Gtown, NYU, Michigan at a discounted price.
I work with kids from Ga Tech. Vandy. UGA. UF. Guess what, they’re in the same roles as kids from LSU, Mercer, Ga State, Tuskegee, Columbus State, Delaware, Ogelthorpe. Will the top school kids be ‘higher’ in 5 and 10 years ? Depend on them. Management has no ‘top’ level kids I can think of. Our top guy is where my dad went - Fairleigh Dickinson. So in the end it’s the person.
That’s the rule, not the exception. But again, I’m not in consulting or IB.
And until we know a possible endgame it’s hard to direct OP.
Edit - what the OP seeks and it was mentioned yesterday by @momofboiler1 is IU. Many ‘feel’ it’s prestigious and it’s rank is top 20. And he’ll hit $$ with Hutton Honors.
