Why dont we settle which school is best once and for all. I think there should be a competition much like the following one for business school. It could be teams from each school made up of 3rd year medical students.

Except I don't see how that business school challenge even picks the best when the currently top 3 ranked business schools (Harvard, Stanford, Wharton) don't even appear to be participating...

They are not the top 3 for MBA schools...Northwestern, U Chicago, and Wharton are...anyways not the point it was just for kicks

This is a useless topic for a thread.
I'd rather focus on how to get into ANY med school.
 
Talk about pressure...the reputation of their schools rests on these people.
 
The 3 schools you lsited are the top 3 BUSINESS schools liek the link u referred us to, but the top 3 MBA SCHOOLS are northwestern, u of chicago, wharton as he listed.....so yea

Um, top "graduate" business schools = top MBA programs. I'm not sure what you think a graduate business school is if it's not an MBA school. MBA is the degree they give their graduates...

really all of you are wrong..unlike med schools businesses schools are ranked by more than just USNews (usnews really isnt the be all end all rankings for business schools, forbes comes to mind). why even have this pissing contest discussed in the forum?

Business Week also ranks them, which is where the other folks list likely comes from. But that is an "every other year" ranking, so the Chicago, Penn, Kellogg ranking was a 2006 ranking http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/06/full_time.htm. Not sure you can still rely on that list in late 2007 when other lists have come out since, and I suspect USNews is used more widely precisely because it is an annual list. Forbes lists the top three as Harvard, Columbia and Chicago http://www.forbes.com/2003/09/24/bschooland.html, but since Columbia is 9th and 10th in the other two lists you have to wonder if there is some NYC bias in the Forbes survey.

But I agree -- this has gone off on a tangent. The OPs original question was about med school challenges.
