Wall Street Journal Ranks Mendoza 1st in Recruiter Satisfaction, 15th Overall

A nationwide Wall Street Journal poll of corporate recruiters ranks the Mendoza College 15th overall and first in recruiter satisfaction. The 2001 rankings are based on a survey of 1,600 corporate recruiters who rated MBA programs at 188 American and 56 foreign business schools. The Journal lauded the leadership, communication and team-building skills of the students. Mendoza was ranked #2 in communication skills.

The WSJ rankings differ from previous comparisons of MBA programs in that the recruiters surveyed were limited to appraising only those schools with which they'd had direct recruiting experience. Other rankings focus mostly on reputation, with no stipulation that judgments be based on personal experience.
