I will take 3-4 yrs of athletics fun followed by 2 yrs of no fun every time vs multiple yrs of medicroity. If that is the trade off we have to make then fine by me.
Emory?? That is your target school Bob? Most of the country has never heard of them and never will. You couldn't be more clueless, and I am ashamed you are an alumnus.
By the way, is getting an MBA in one year after you graduate even possible? I call BS.
Lol, how the hell have you not heard of Emory? Top 20 school easily. SMU should be looking to emulate them.
And btw, we are not ranked that much higher than TCU. As per US News, SMU is #61 (tied with Clemson, Purdue, Georgia, Syracuse) and TCU is #82. Last I checked, their business school was on par with the great Cox School of Business.
I recently read in the Economist that TCUs MBAs are starting out at higher pay than Cox grads. I suspect the Barnett Shale had something to do with that but the Barnett is not the factor it used to be. If I am right the starting pay for Frogs will recede.
