#16 UT (704 avg GMAT)
#22 Rice (690) -- their new BBA will be a hit
#25 A&M (626)
#35 SMU (650)
#36 UTD (681) -- only 60 FT students
#42 TCU (611) -- up to 75 FT students now
#52 WTAMU (560)
#53 UH (608)
#54 OU (544)
#63 TTU (NM)

This list starting from 17 down is just off.

No way UNC is #17. Some just appear to be a joke such as A&M 25, Howard at 30. Honestly, SMU should be a top 25 MBA program, particularly given our history and our location. But the order on this list starting from 17 down, it's a waste of time what they did.

Always have to look at the methodology behind anyone's rankings

Regardless of what a single arbitrary sites ranking says, SMU’s program still has cache. I’m in the middle of it now. Chose it over A&M (where I did my undergrad) for that reason, and to tap into the SMU alumni network. I already have the A&M network, no reason to dip into again if I can expand my network, and do it with a program that still draws a reaction, at least in TX.
