Though Cornell currently see value in giving the students a choice, I see that changing in the coming years.

Be well,

Hello!
For those who are interested in the latest rankings for undergraduate business schools, here they are, the top 51:

http://finance.yahoo.com/college-education/article/112273/best-undergraduate-b-schools-2011

For those who applied to Tulsa this year, we did well, predicting their rise ... all the way to #33, ahead of USC, Northeastern and Maryland, to name just a few!

Granted, I don't think rankings are always the most accurate and I hate how they are used as marketing devices, but what we're all looking for is a global network and, as you will see in the article which introduces the rankings, that is the emphasis with undergraduate business schools, also!

Excellent. Take good care.
