A constant theme on WSO is ranking BBs and EBs by tier. Can we take a minute to rank target schools by tier? Please don’t make this whole thread about UT vs Kelley (Or Kelley vs someone like it always is).

I thought we already came to a unanimous decision on this?
S+++ = Stern (Best business school in the world)
S++ = Kelley (They send 6 kids to moelis)
S+ = UVA (Cheaper than ivies and also better)
S = Wharton (Walmart brand Stern)
A = Harvard (they don't have a finance major)
C = Stanford (On the west coast so you can't go to NY)
D = Yale (Not that many banks come to campus)
F = Upenn CAS (Not good enough for the 2nd best business school?)
F- = LoW tIeR iViEs (why go to cornell when you can just kill yourself)
F-- = Baruch (Don't worry though it's close to wall street)
Kelley way too low...
..////
I heard Kelley is the only school that you receive MD offers from as a student?
How does UT, UVA and Kelley stack up to each other in terms of recruiting ?
Kelley
Every other public school
??? I think you meant this
Kelley
Every other school
No we absolutely cannot
Comprehensive Ranking of Target Schools: 1. HSW 1a. YP 2. MIT, Uchicago, rest of the Ivies 3. UVA, UMich, Berkeley . . . 63. IU Kelley . . . Dead Fucking Last: Whatever school OP attends
Eh S is more 1a (for NYC at the least) but otherwise pretty spot on
