[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

DP here.  I agree with OP - PP is one of the uninformed sour grapes that offer random and inaccurate info, which ruins this board for everyone. [/quote]

Hey, feel free to send your kid there.    [/quote]

It is one of our first choices. [/quote]

Great, may I suggest BYU and NJ Tech as targets?  Both are WSJ T25.[/quote]

Are you actually assuming that people are not capable of conducting their own thorough research and make their own decisions regarding such a huge endeavor as college without following a ranking list? Ranking lists which you rely on, post so often, and adore?  You take the cake.

Some of us actually know which are the good schools for our kid, and also for their preferred fields.  We do not direct our kid to lists, we do not tell them where to go to college, and we do not pick their majors.

Thankfully, our kid is smarter than resorting to a ranking list. Maybe not you. [/quote]

Sure seems that pp was relying on Babson’s WSJ ranking, otherwise why bring it up?[/quote]

Nope. [/quote]

Ok, so why mention the ranking?  For shits and giggles?  Of course not.  It was mentioned because op felt the ranking had value.[/quote]
