In Reply To: I'm from Florida, and its well known that FSU has a lousy b-school. Guys from the bottom half of my inner-city high school went there right after graduating from FSU indergrad. From the website: "Admission averages are 570 on the GMAT, 3.25 upper division GPA and 4-5 years of prior work experience." (I know for a fact that the last clause is a lie) Top ten employers: Arthur Andersen LLP IBM Price Waterhouse Coopers BURDINES (a dept store) Ferguson Enterprises Andersen Consulting Richs, Lazarus, Goldsmith Florida Power & Light Co. AT&T Solutions First Union Merril Lynch (and that's not in Manhattan...) If you get an MBA from FSU, realize that you are likely to spend the rest of your life in Florida, probably in commercial banking or retail. If you want to move on to IB in the Northeast, you have grossly inflated expectations.
Message: What about University of Florida? Is it in the same category?
