Cornell’s Johnson School of Management by: John A. Byrne on December 14, 2010 | 30,662 Views December 14, 2010 Copy Link Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Share on LinkedIn Share on WhatsApp Share on Reddit BusinessWeek, which largely measures MBA programs on student and recruiter satisfaction, gave Johnson a rank of 13th in 2010, down two spots from 11th in 2008. That’s largely the result of its No. 23 corporate recruiter ranking in the BusinessWeek survey. The school does an especially good job, however, of satisfying MBA students. BW gave Johnson a rank of eighth in its student survey. As one Class of 2010 grad told BusinessWeek: “The Johnson School pays a great amount of attention to its students. I would recommend the program to anyone who wants a top education, a great community with tight knit classmates, access to a world class university, loyal alumni, and opportunities for applying what you learn to real situations (consulting projects in the immersion programs and classes, venture capital experience through Big Red Ventures, hedge fund/asset management experience through the Cayuga Fund, etc.).” Top Feeder Colleges & Companies to Cornell: Top Feeder Colleges to Cornell’s Johnson School Top Feeder Companies to Cornell’s Johnson School MBA Program Consideration Set: Stretch Schools: MIT Sloan, Berkeley, Duke Match Schools: Virginia, New York University, Michigan, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA Safe Schools: North Carolina, Texas at Austin, Emory, Indiana 2011 -2012 Tuition & Fees: $51,480 School Recommended Two-Year Budget: $147,320 Median GMAT: 700 GMAT Range (mid-80%): 630-740 Average GPA: 3.30 Acceptance Rate: 27% Full-Time Enrollment: 593 International: 34% Female: 30% Minority — African American: 10% Asian American: 25% Hispanic or Latino American: 4% Mean Age: 27 Median Base Salary: $100,000 Median Signing Bonus: $20,000 Percentage of MBAs with Job Offers at Graduation: 79% Percentage of MBAs with Job Offers Three Months Later: 89% Estimate of Total Pay over a 20-Year Career*: $2,844,421 (only 12 other U.S. business schools had higher career pay numbers) Where Cornell’s Class of 2011 Went to Work: Financial Services — 32% Consulting — 25% Manufacturing — 10% Technology — 10% Consumer Products — 9% Health Care/Biotech — 4% Media/Entertainment — 1% Energy — 1% Non-Profit — 1% Real Estate — 1% Government — 1% Top Employers of Johnson MBAs 2011 Top Employers MBAs Hired 2010 Top Employers MBAs Hired Citigroup 21 J.P.
