Honestly, I feel it's unrealistic, Well, since you feel that way I guess Haas should just scrap any plan they've made to accomplish this unrealistic goal.at least if you're speaking of the USNews rankings. If you're talking about Forbes, WSJ, or whatever else, then yeah it's definitely a possibility because those are all over the map.
For USNews, I don't see H/S/W moving out of the top 3These schools don't have to move out of the top 3 for Haas to get into the top 5. Basic math 5 -3 = 2 spots into which Haas could move and still be in the top 5.. The competition to fill out the top 5 is stiffSo is getting into Harvard, Yale, Kellogg, Chicago, etc....does that mean you're not going to try? Because something is difficult is never a reason to not try. Please, if you give up that easily, or don't even begin, roll over and die now because the world is going to eat you alive and rolling over and dying would be less painful than being eaten alive., and I don't think Chicago, Kellogg, or MIT are going anywhere either. MIT and Kellogg are both in the process of building brand new facilities, which are currently weak points in their respective programs. Chicago has seen a huge climb in the rankings But I thought climbing over other schools was unrealistic, difficult, stiff due to competition? I guess Chicago is just unique in that respect and Haas could never do the same. and it continues to be a favorite school among many applicants.
I think Haas will stay in the top 10Good, top 5 is in the top 10, I guess you agree then?, but thinking that it has a shot of moving into the top 5, at least within the next decade, is unrealistic . Beyond the next decade - your guess is as good as mine.
Out of the top 10 programs, I would say that Haas, MIT, Columbia, and Tuck seem to have a little bit more self-selecting applicant pool. H/S/W and Chicago/Kellogg draw applications from people all over the map. There are a lot more people from the West Coast applying to H/W and Chicago/Kellogg than there are people from the East Coast applying to Haas/UCLA.I'm sorry, I really don't understand what conclusion this final sentence supports. Can you clarify? it supposed to mean that people on the west coast should already be in the practice of applying to Haas for it to have a shot at becoming a top 5 school?
Under what experience, authority, or even just general knowledge gives you credibility to say these things?
