I don't understand why US News props up mid-tier public schools so much. They certainly aren't bad schools, but I don't think the recruiting companies and placement stats of OSU or Minnesota are indicative of top 25 caliber schools. Funny methodology, IMO.
No offence ment to you eazyb but I'm not sure you know enough of OSU to comment on its placements stats. for your info, please've a look at this link
https://fishermba.osu.edu/career/career_employment_stat.phpI agree that it does not have a very high reputation as some of the top tiers but its still a great bet in the midwest . Besides, the ranking also considers ROI and Fisher gives a very good ROI for its MBA program. The operations/SCM concentraion in the MBA program @ Fisher is widely reputed and ranks amongst the Top 10. Overall, Fisher does have the potential to be a Top-25 program. I guess with the frenzy for the top 10 in this club, it sure is difficult for many people to know about the other 'good' programs. Just takes an open mind and some research to find about them.

Hey man, don't get me wrong, i'm not saying OSU is a bad program - far from it. However, I think the top 25-30 should be reserved for more national programs that carry a more prestigious brand name, and at this time I don't feel OSU has that.
Personally, I think Hjort's cluster ranking system is about as close to perfect as you can get. OSU is a very solid Near Elite Frontier program that has strong regional ties in the midwest.
