I am not one for the rankings or acceptance rates however this is interesting. Niche ranked the top 1192 business programs. Pace was not in the top 1192 and both Stony Brook and Binghamton were. Bentley was number 40. Pace also had an 75 to 85% acceptance rate depending on the year. Stony Brook and Binghamton both under 50 percent acceptance rate. Like I said rankings and acceptance rate me nothing. There are some schools that have a high volume of low level applicants apply lowering acceptance rates. However when a school cannot make a list of 1192 Schools ranked and carries an 85% acceptance rate it is hard to argue that that school is elite and should be taken over a school such as Duke, University of Virginia or even Stony Brook/Binghamton. All those schools easily made the top 1192.
