[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of 2 schools in the Top 10 (Babson, Claremont McKenna).

Guessing I can't afford those anyway.[/quote]

You probably can’t.  Babson is about $80k a year.  Babson is also ranked among the top 100 most selective colleges in the U.S. by the U.S. News & World Report.

Some of you are so provincial.  [/quote]

I do have to laugh at all the posters outraged because they've "never heard of Babson."  It's a niche business school with a 22% acceptance rate.[/quote]

It is a business only college that draws many international students who come from rich family businesses. The job outcomes are excellent. The college is small so the job placement for their student body is excellent.

Not every kid from UVA has an awesome job after graduation. My neighbor’s child majored in liberal arts from UPEnn and is home jobless. I’m sure if you compared Wharton to Babson, Wharton would win but not all of UPenn.[/quote]

Since Babson is business only, it should only be compared to other business schools.  This analysis compares business schools and shows Babson at 42 among schools with BBAs.  Locally, it is behind UVA, Georgetown, William and Mary, and UMD despite being ahead of all of them in WSJ.

The same way people here have never heard of Babson, I never heard of W&M. I didn’t even know W&M had a business major.

I’m not so concerned about rankings. All I know is that the kids from Babson are usually rich and have good jobs after graduation. The rich probably helped them more than the actual college. The school is known for entrepreneurship.[/quote]

Considering there are like 5 threads per week on William & Mary, I find it hard to believe you have never heard of it unless you are also claiming this is the first time you have visited DCUM.

When I lived in Boston, I never heard of W&M. We are from NY.

I don’t want my kids to go to Babson or W&M. I was just commenting that Babson has strong outcomes. That is all. It is known for rich international students.[/quote]

Frankly, that's insane. I'm from NE.  W&M was commonly on the application list at my Greenwich, CT HS.  Family in Boston all knew about it.

It's the 2nd oldest university in the nation for crying out loud.  I tihnk it says more about posters than the actual school.[/quote]
