No you misunderstand my point I am talking about the ranking and that is it overrated. As far as schools such as cox are concerned my point was one can achieve greatness even with these programs. Its all about networking no matter where you go. Schools is not a job factory and would do so far for you. Do you think bill gates or donald trump went to harvard. No they didnt but look at their net worth. In business its all about contacts not university names. But I guess if you will do actual business.one day you will understand my point. I also used to think like you couple of years back but the reality is.far differenet. Also there are good people in lower ranked programs as well with the facilities so they are not useless

GMAT Club Forum mobile appYes, you can achieve great things even by going to lower ranked programs. No one in their right mind would deny that. But, why is it that more students at Kellogg/Booth end up getting their dream job than students at Cox?
For example, you will have close to zero chance of getting recruited at MBB even if you network aggressively whereas at Kellogg/Booth you will have good chances of at least getting an interview at one of those firms.
Been reading the last few posts and wanted to chime in.
SMU/COX is excellent if you want to stay in Dallas. SMU > TCU in reputation. COX > Neeley in post-grad salaries for those who stay in Texas. SMU also has a larger class which allows more recruiters to come to campus which leads to more people getting interviewed at big firms.
If you want to work in NY, COX isn't for you. If you want to work in Dallas, Cox will beat a lot of schools ranked between 9-30 out of the state.
Yale, Harvard, MIT, Wharton, and Stanford degrees will all travel to texas with no problem. Stern, Kellogg and others in that area don't.
McCombs is the best in Texas with Rice/Jones and SMU/Cox fighting for second depending on the career path you want.
If you are international and don't want to work in Texas, I would avoid Cox. Find a school with a degree that travels well instead.
As a US student who wants to live in Dallas after graduation, I don't see why I couldn't work for a Bain, BCG, Goldman, or any other big firm with a degree from Cox.
