[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  It is ranked 10th overall (not just business programs) in the latest WSJ rankings.

Was just hoping someone on DCUM either graduated there or has a kid there and can provide some firsthand knowledge.[/quote]

These are the problem with the junk rankings, people actually assign value to them.  Babson is not a Top 10 college.[/quote]

Great.  I am all ears about your firsthand knowledge as to why that is the case.  Hit me with it.

How about you make the case for why it should be considered a T10 university?  Aside from a wonky wsj ranking.  [/quote]

No…I was just referencing its ranking at #10 in the WSJ and you very authoritatively indicated that ranking was incorrect.

I am all ears for your firsthand knowledge of why it is wrong.  You are the authority…lay it on me.[/quote]

Last year, the WSJ itself  had it ranked 126.  Do you really believe it improved by 116 places in a single year?  Or perhaps the WSJ rankings are just bunk in all years.[/quote]

Or more likely your Alma Mater tanked…and now you are forced to disparage Babson, BYU and other schools.[/quote]

Actually no, my alma mater is well ensconced in the T10 of that other ranking.  But I was specifically asked to support my statement that Babson was not a T10 school.  And my reason is that the WSJ rating is junk if it ranks a school at 126 one year, and at 10 the next.  Obviously nothing about the school changed significantly in one year.

In the future, don’t ask questions you don’t want answers to.[/quote]

What’s that “other” ranking?
[/quote]

Put on your thinking cap.[/quote]

The fact that you are referencing a different ranking basically says your Alma Mater tanked the WSJ rankings.  Correct?  If not, why would you bring the “other” ranking into the discussion.

You are maybe a disgruntled U Chicago or JHU grad.[/quote]
