Business schools: douchebag ranking

GQ magazine did a ranking last year of the colleges with the biggest douchebags. I'm gonna do a similar ranking of business schools, based on my interaction with their students and alumni.

From most douchetastic to least:

  1. NYU
  2. Kellogg
  3. Columbia
  4. UVA
  5. Duke
  6. Wharton
  7. Tuck
  8. Booth
  9. UCLA
  10. Harvard
  11. Stanford
  12. MIT
 

Alternate Rankings:

  1. NYU (because they think they should be #1 and are not at anything else)
  2. Duke (seriously, no one new you had a b-school until four years ago)
  3. Kellogg (J-Crew all the way)
  4. Wharton (you live in Philly, I am sick of seeing your sweatshirts on the Amtrack as you head to NYC)
  5. Harvard (looking for a name or an education, you can only pick one)
  6. Columbia (okay, you live in NYC, but you go to school in Harlem)
  7. Stanford (its laid back, we get that already)

Not really that douchetastic, just sort of working hard and getting it done Tuck Booth UVA MIT

Does anyone really care about your b-school? UCLA (I would have put Duke here, but they deserve to be douchetastic)

 

You're all wrong.

The biggest dbags are kids from third tier programs who act like they're better than you because they have a "MBA". These are the same people who try to convince you how great their program was, when someone who passed and retained 85% of the CFA level 1 material probably knows more about finance (and life, in general). While douchery from the aforementioned list of schools can't be ignored, I think we're missing the bigger dbags out there ...
