Stanford & Babson -- no surprise there IMO. They've really done well in entrepreneurship for many many years, and Babson has a very strong undergrad entrepreneurship program as well.

I'm personally surprised by how well Darden and Tuck do in this ranking. I've heard y'all we're doing well here, but wow! Kudos!!
