BIGGEST GAIN IN TOP 25 RACKED UP BY EMORY’S GOIZUETA SCHOOL
The most impressive gain in this year’s U.S. News’ Top 25 was achieved by Emory’s Goizueta School which rose four spots to finish 19th from a rank of 23rd last year. Emory’s advance was largely due to vastly improved placement stats: the average salary reported by a graduating MBA last year jumped to $121,050, from $100,300 in 2010, while 78.9% of the school’s graduates had jobs at commencement, up from 57.2% a year earlier. Emory told U.S. News that 94% of its Class of 2011 had jobs three months after graduation, up from 87.3%.
For students looking for one of the strongest regional schools in the South, Emory (Goizueta) has suddenly become a front-runner that every applicant in this region must seriously consider. In the new rankings, Emory jumped from #23 to #19 and is now tied with UNC (Kenan-Flagler). As John Byrne reported, Emory’s rise stems from the school’s increasing ability to help graduates secure jobs with very high starting salaries. Given Emory’s much-improved career services, applicants who are hoping to attend Duke but need a target/safety school in the region will now increasingly consider Emory. Emory is likely to become much more competitive in the coming cycle not only because of its improved ranking and starting salary data but also because, for lifestyle and recruiting reasons, many MBA applicants would prefer to live in Atlanta rather than Chapel Hill.
