[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD isn’t ranked. At all.[/quote]
P&Q is largely based on alumni survey.

That ranking has GAtech for as #10.  GATech is a great school, but I would not call it #10 for business undergrad.[/quote]

P&Q also has information from the institutions like placements, etc.  [/quote]
I have no dog in this fight but can P&Q ranking be THAT useful?  None of the CA publics are on the list, no Texas, UMD or Florida. Yet Ithaca, Christopher Newport and Michigan-Dearborn are?[/quote]
+1 yea that ranking looks suspect to me.  It does rely on surveys. If the school doesn't submit the survey, then they don't list it.

[quote][u]we included all schools that submitted school surveys[/u]. In previous year’s we’ve not included schools that failed to meet a minimum 10% alumni response rate. Of the 92 schools ranked this year,[b] 80 met the minimum 10% response rate[/b], three less than last year, our second-highest ever. In the past, schools that did not meet the minimum response rate did not have any alumni data included, which significantly lowered their ranking.   To help mitigate those fluctuations and [b]reward schools for the alumni data they were able to gather[/b], we included last year’s alumni data for all schools that met the minimum response rate and we included this year’s data on a sliding scale based on response rates. For example, if a school had a 10% or higher response rate, it got the full amount of its alumni data. But if a school had a 9% response rate, it’d only get 90% of its alumni data.[/quote]

There is no perfect ranking, to be sure, so you can poke holes at any of them.

Even so, GAtech, a fine school that my DC applied to for CS, wouldn't be one I would pay oos for undergrad in business, and I have an undergrad in business.[/quote]

It isn't perfect, but it is about the only source for real relevant information on undergraduate business.[/quote]

US News rankings of business programs at least past the sniff test. P&Q does not.[/quote]

US News doesn't pass the sniff test.  If it did, it would have information people really want like salaries and placement.  It does not.[/quote]

sure bud[/quote]
