<p>Muerte - agreed, the Rhodes scholar metric was not the best to use. It was simply the statistic I had closest to hand. My general point though, is that I still think there is a gap between colleges at Penn, Columbia, Chicago, etc. and the colleges at Yale, Harvard, etc. Meanwhile, for business placement, I think there is NO GAP in reputation or standing between Harvard and Wharton, or Wharton and Princeton. With that in mind, I’d then see a gap between Wharton and CAS (to a degree that’s similar to the gap between, say, Princeton and CAS).</p>
<p>Again, I say this with no disrespect to CAS - just as I would never argue that there is a gap between Chicago and Yale to disrespect my own alma mater. I just think this is an accurate statement to make at this time. CAS is a very very good college, but Wharton is, to us Gutmann’s words, preeminent.</p>
