Damn asu didn’t make the cut
10 years ago at 9:53 amAre you surprised?
10 years ago at 10:12 amStill barely cracked the top 30. If there’s one thing that school has besides sloots galore, it’s their quality MBA program.
10 years ago at 7:11 pmI wonder how many ounces of petroleum jelly the dudes at Forbes could squeeze into their hersheyholes.
10 years ago at 9:55 amDorns mom can squeeze a 54 gallon barrel and 3 cocks and have room for 2-3 more cocks in her beaver
10 years ago at 9:59 ammy Aunty Reese just got a fantastic white Nissan GT-R Coupe just by parttime work from
experience! Go Here:—>>> www.addbucket.cf
10 years ago at 3:01 pmGet the fuck out
10 years ago at 11:47 pmWhy…
10 years ago at 10:00 amAbout half of the schools have good basketball and/or football programs as well. A top notch education and something to cheer for during one or both semesters is rare.
10 years ago at 10:17 amWhatttt?????? No Princeton???? No Ted-Cruz-U????? Well…I guess they #CantStumpTheTrump
10 years ago at 10:25 amPrinceton doesn’t have an MBA program.
10 years ago at 10:27 amYeah, Pattern. Eat Frabst’s butthole!
10 years ago at 10:28 amIt tastes like bacon.
10 years ago at 10:42 amHarrison you obviously know nothing about top MBA programs. They don’t take people straight out of undergrad, they could give a shit about your undergrad GPA or what you majored in. In fact 5+ years of work exp is virtually a requirement for these programs, and you have to prove you were a superstar in your job. That’s why you see the high pre-MBA salaries: these guys were already raking in decent dough and want to climb the rungs to middle management.
10 years ago at 10:58 amIn my experience admissions at several schools have been interested in my salary and bonuses I’ve received. They also dig in deep on what kind of analytical skills you can bring to the table if you’re looking to focus on finance.
10 years ago at 11:00 amI graduated 2015, starting my MBA at Kelley this fall. So false.
10 years ago at 12:36 pmThat’s uncommon. You must’ve crushed the GMAT/had solid recommendations to get in so quickly.
10 years ago at 12:54 pmI did Kelley undergrad as well which probably helped. I also have a few leadership roles outside my normal job. Hopefully with my Masters I can manage Sunnyvale!
10 years ago at 12:55 pmGodspeed, Bubs.
10 years ago at 1:07 pmThe lower tier schools generally are more flexible with their pre-MBA career requirements.
10 years ago at 2:09 pmKelley is #8 overall (Businessweek), champ. #1 with employers.
10 years ago at 3:54 pmNot true. 28th in business week. But you go to Kelley, so I would suspect problems with numbers.
10 years ago at 5:02 pmhttp://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2014-04-04/the-complete-ranking-best-undergraduate-business-schools-2014
Get fucked.
10 years ago at 7:11 pmYou just keep proving why Kelley is a shit school. You dug up the only ranking you could find that puts Kelley in the top 20, an undergrad ranking from 2014, based on some bullshit metrics that managed to put Notre Dame ahead of Harvard. Nobody in their right fucking mind would rather have a degree from Notre Dame than Harvard. So fuck off, and quit wasting my fucking time.
10 years ago at 11:52 amBloomberg ratings are actually very reputable. None of the Ivy League colleges have undergrad business programs except for Penn and Cornell so for obvious reasons, Notre Dame ranks higher than Harvard. Looks like you need to do some fact checking.
10 years ago at 8:31 pmWhat’s the point of going to any of these schools if they either don’t have a football program or they suck?
10 years ago at 11:01 amMoney. That’s kind of the point of the article.
10 years ago at 11:20 amHm… last year I broke 500k working 9-5, which is twice what the Stanford MBA grads are making at the same point of their careers. Maybe medschool wasn’t such a bad idea after all. However, the salary ceiling after MBA is much higher than mine.
10 years ago at 12:18 pmPlease leave and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
10 years ago at 12:23 pmFuck you
10 years ago at 2:00 pmWhat are you doing on TFM, get out you old creep.
10 years ago at 2:10 pmNo University of Scranton in PA?
10 years ago at 3:31 pmNU over UC? Yeah ok.
