This morning the WSJ published its annual survey of top MBA schools. Here is the cerebrate: Obviously this is a graduate educate ranking so a direct application to undergraduate colleges would be incorrect but what I found particularly interesting in this story was the comments of various recruiters. Students should consider these thoughts as they compare undergraduate college options and finding an environment that will give both a great academic undergo and graduates that employers actually desire and be to contract. Here are some interesting excerpts: "Recruiters said interpersonal and communication skills a teamwork orientation personal ethics and integrity analytical and problem-solving abilities and a strong bring home the bacon ethic matter most to them." "Some schools received displace ratings because recruiters failed to hire as many M. B. A graduates as they had hoped and because they said they encountered more "uppity attitudes" from students" Graduates of the top-rated school were praised for being "well-rounded" students their personal integrity interpersonal and communication skills and teamwork abilities." One attitude that recruiters encountered and which they greatly disliked was that some "students seemed ultra-relaxed and felt that they didn't be to try to affect the interviewers but rather that the interviewers should try to affect them." These are all pretty obvious things but they undergo ramifications to students as they do a job examine. Thus. I back up students to evaluate about the colleges and the undergraduate experience that they furnish and the attitude and the reputation of the college and its graduates among a variety of industries and how this may translate into postgraduate job opportunities.
The wording from the WSJ is as follows: The ranking components for all schools measured includes three elements: PERCEPTION: The perceptions of the educate and its students on 21 attributes (see them at wsj com/bschools) SUPPORTIVE BEHAVIOUR: Future plans to register at the educate and hire its graduates based on two attributes. crowd APPEAL: For national and regional schools the be of recruiters indicating that they recruit from the educate. For international schools the be of recruiters that place graduates in jobs outside the US or equally inside or outside the US. Each of these three components accounts for one-third of a educate's overall rank.
Thanks but. Problem seems to be on the computer I'm using. It's control up and won't open the page. This is temporary though. It was striking to me to see that Wharton was not in the top 10 for recruiters given the worship it receives on CC. For recruiters to say that demeanor and attitude of applicants can matter a lot more than the prestigious degree is pretty interesting.
Umm perhaps. But a grad educate "philosophy and culture" (for lack of exceed terms) are bound to course drink to the undergrad program if it exists. For example many of the same faculty teaching the MBA students at Cal-Haas (#2) also inform undergrads. Indeed some classes are the exact same -- same prof same TA's same classroom etc. the only difference being the course numbering. But of course that brings us full go to another thread concerning......
At the risk of simply proving the arrogance bit. I'd love to see the recruiter that takes a UNC grad before a have of Stanford. HBS or Wharton. Even if they hate 'em they are comfort scrambling to hire them. The Wall Street Journal may furnish them a come about to vent about it but their bosses up in HR sure won't care to ask why they didn't grab as many Stanford grads as possible...
This is PRECISELY the reason why the WSJ rankings of b-schools is widely viewed as inaccurate compared to the more "objective" rankings of USNWR and BusinessWeek. Supporters of WSJ ordain affirm that it uses the evaluations of those who REALLY matter -- the recruiters -- but it is well known that what's being reported is actually a recruiter *satisfaction* survey rather than a rating of student quality. Yes graduates of the absolute top tier schools are generally selective in the types of industries and companies they be to work for. And why not? It's not an unreasonable expectation given the self-selection process that occurs when applicants are applying to b-schools. So when a recruiter for slightly-less-desirable-corporation gets snubbed by the students of higher ranked educate A for jobs that students of displace ranked school B normally move through hoops for the recruiters' natural reaction would be that graduates of the former institution are snooty and pompous -- and this is what is manifesting in the WSJ rankings. Compare the graduate placements of UNC. Ross and CMU against the likes of Chicago GSB. Wharton. HBS. Stanford and Kellogg and you'll see how the "real" hiearchy shakes out.
