UVA 4TH. Sure that's why this thread was started.

Much more accurate than P&Q

If you like social justice and equity, US News is your Gold Standard. If you like objective performance, you use Poets and Quants. This isn't hard.

I found the P&Q list helpful to identify schools to consider and then we narrowed down our focus.

Just major in math at Princeton and be the captain of the lacrosse team.

For Business School, yes. For STEM and overall, no way. UVA is a tier below.

+1

For business I agree. About the only area where UVA is Michigan’s equal. Of course you have to get accepted first. It’s a pity that there are no direct admits at UVA unlike Michigan. So if I were OOS to both schools, UVA without a guarantee into McIntire would be a hard no.

I don't think Stanford and UCLA have undergrad business program

The vast majority of universities don't have undergrad business programs. You'll notice Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Chicago and most top 30 schools are not included on this list. The schools mentioned above are pretty much it.

Exactly.

LOL. “Top undergrad business school” isn’t a flex.

+This.

I was wondering why some schools are missing. Here is US News' 2024 rankings for business programs:

Was there a "fake" P&Q ranking?
