Well just thought I let everyone know if you don't already,
The new bi-annual BusinessWeek ranking gets released today.

Probably start a Chat at 5pm ET.

The whole chat "countdown" thing is stupid. It's like making me watch a 30 minute show on CBS and waiting through commericals to find out which teams made the NCAA tournament!

PS Speaking of that, UCLA looks solid right now, gobruins

I think watching round 7 of the NFL draft is pretty retarded too, I'm sure some people who are waiting to be drafted care, but honestly 2 days of live draft coverage?

I was just trying to give people a heads up. Yeah UCLA is my first love, although I'm not applying... That said, still will never apply to USC. (Go Oregon St. FOOTBALL!!!!)


I'm hoping michigan moves up, chicago stays the same, and Kellogg beats Wharton. That would be awesome.

I am going to go with -

1. Kellogg
2. Tuck
3. Ross
4. Duke
5. All the rest.

I feel I should give a full disclosure - I applied to Duke, Ross, Kellogg, and Tuck in the first round; but I tried not to let that sway my evaluations.

There's no MIT Sloan in that Top 10, oversight or intentional? Just curious :) Also, am I the only person who feels weird referring to Chicago as "BSB"? That reminds me of the Backstreet Boys to be honest :P I'm sure Stanford is glad to be the only GSB now though.

I was at the Oregon St game last week and didn't mind the loss for that very reason. Though it was one of the most painful games I've ever sat through.

I'm curious to know how NYU is going to do these days. They have the reputation of being just a finance school so I wonder what will draw people to that school now (except for the very obvious geographic reason).
