The best colleges in America

Hey anyone notice that NBC News dropped the Chick-fil-A story from it's front page after the numbers came out. Oh they aren't Socialist here at NBC News...Ha Ha.

Garbage in, garbage out. Those Elitist schools have been pumping out garbage for years. We're not in the mess we are in from teaching people how to learn so they can earn their way through exposure and experience, we teach them how to take shortcuts and cheat. A reminder that Wall Street has failed us and everyone working in it came from one of these fool schools.

Usual eastern bias, reflecting the typical views of snobs that have rarely crossed the Mississippi.  There are lots of universities with a yearly tuition of 10K that have honor's programs that can compete with the most prestigious (in name) schools.  Check out the Barrett Honor's college, for example, at Arizona State University.  My only word of advice is to check out the productivity of faculty members at each school, in terms of publications and research activity, and whether they also teach undergraduate programs.  The shift from the east to the west coast, as well as inbetween, has been in progress for the last 40 years.  And that will continue. 

Not sure WHAT schools are RATED best .................. show us just one with a 50% or greater graduation %!

Ok, how about 40%........ or even 35%.......... yet a 61-80% financial aid rate ............... given money that equates to used toilet paper in terms of intelligent national investment, and that doesn't include the University subsidies!!!!

Before I even viewed the list, when I saw it was composed by Forbes, I knew it would be absurd.

I went to a State College and was able to secure an internship while in college.  Graduated with slightly over $6K in student loans and was able to secure a job.  Working while in high school and college helped me gain experience that helped me gain full-time employment after graduating.  I now have a job that I love most days, earn enough and not worried about paying down the debt.

They all practice racism with 'affirmative action' for selected minorities.  Let's hope the U.S. Supreme Court finally rules these racist practices illegal next year!

I think this list is just another example of how money begets money. Those parents fortunate enough to have the kind of money it takes to attend these schools usually had parents just as fortunate. Myself however wasn't that fortunate, my father got his BS at the school of hard work and his MS at the school of hard knocks. So this meant that I got to attend a state university to obtain my degree (Ball State, Muncie IN) with a BS in Business Management and a minor in Physiology. I have done pretty well for my family and myself, but not well enough to send my daughter to a Yale or a Harvard or any private school for that matter. She even applied to Notre Dame and was turned down, did I mention she scored a 33 on the ACT and a 1594 combined SAT. She was also class valedictorian graduating with a weighted GPA of 4.6. She was however offered direct admission to the Kelly School of Business with a full ride scholarship at Indiana University Bloomington. She will graduate next May with a BS in entrepanurship, a BS in music, and a minor in Non profit Business Management. And this will all be paid for, no student debt, just 4 years of experiencing what I believe to be the best business school in the country. So you can have your list Forbes, just watch your back, my daughter may own you one day.
