Quick resume/CV question

Should I list what rank my school was when I joined on my CV/Resume?

Finance program was about #15 in the USA, Int'l Business was #7, IIRC. I can always double check those ... but the ratings have sunk somewhat (still top #50 for both, I don't know exactly).

Also, even if I don't need to put the ranking on for US applications, should I put them on the CV / Resume if I apply to companies like UBS / CS in Zürich, or DB in Frankfurt?

Thanks for the info!

Is your intention to give credibility to your school because you are applying abroad? I've never heard of anyone putting school rankings on a resume. I would throw out any resume I saw with rankings on it, I hate people who talk about them.

But I don't know anything about Europe.

 

Your school's name should speak for itself. If it doesn't, then listing what it was ranked 3 years ago will make you sound like an idiot (...but I assume you already are one, so just go ahead).

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.

Okay, I'll put it on. HERRRRR DUURRRRRRRR

The question was mainly for the European application process - and I've found the answer in the above comments - and since I was here, I asked both questions, so ... go fuck yourself. I appreciate the part of your comment that wasn't in parentheses, however, so thank you for that.

Nothing can stop me.
