Olin-WUSTL Brand Reputation in the Marketplace

Can any of you actually working provide some feedback on your take on Olin's reputation in the market? I'd be curious to hear from BSBA/MSF/MBA perspectives. Understandably it's strong in St. Louis, but I'm more curious about NYC and Chicago.

WUSTL is a great research university. Olin is actually one of their lesser known schools but still it has a good reputation in the Midwest and the Northeast.

 

Olin's BSBA program is actually very strong and underrated. If you ranked schools solely on placement % and starting salary, it would rank among the top 5 best undergrad business programs in the country. It's MBA is relatively strong, but not considered a powerhouse, and its business SMP's are also relatively strong (as far as SMP's are concerned). Definitely a strong reputation in the Midwest and in NY.

For MBA programs...

A.G. Edwards and Sons Inc. Citigroup Credit Suisse First Boston Lehman Brothers, Inc.

For BSBA programs add... Goldman Sachs J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Merrill Lynch & Company, Inc.

I wonder why their BSBA program has better investment banks than the MBA program.

 

i'm just getting sick of your nonsense suck-up comments. if the program has 30 people, why would you stupidly use 19% instead of 5 or 6 students directly?

WUSTL and Vandy run strong and respectable MSF programs, but it would be a moment of disaster and disgrace if either program accepts you in your current shape..

 

I haven't looked at his other posts, but to be fair here it looks like the 19% comes straight from the school.

These stats actually look quite poor.

  1. Income didn't move;
  2. Acceptance rates continue to rise;
  3. IB placements collapsed;
  4. Wash U itself listed as major employer (suspicion that's how it got to 100% placement).

All in all, not blown away.
