In Reply To: thats the way you pick it.. but to be honest about it..you did not read and understand anything that the below mention poster pointed out.... rankings are pointless...i am pretty sure... the schools you will apply to... you will apply to them simply based on the number....and you will probably feel like a fool if one of your top 5 drops out of ranking next year...i hope you would not have to transfer ... .. make up your own mind...dont believe everything you read.... go to the school that will make you happy...visit the campus.... look to see if you like the surroundings..... dont just pick the top five and say...okay...
Message: there are a lot of posters who say that the rankings don't matter. I agree with them. it doesn't. BW certainly fluctuates its top schools like crazy and has some screwed up rankings. BUT there are set of core schools that you can say are top 5 (HBS/Wh/St/Sl/Kell)despite where they move on the rankings. I'm sure these schools are what the previous posters were referring to.
