The annual U.S. News undergraduate business school rankings saw MIT Sloan join Wharton at the top, marking a rare tie after years of Wharton’s dominance, while traditional leaders like UC Berkeley and Michigan Ross maintained top positions. However, graduate employment is increasingly challenging, particularly for recent college graduates where unemployment rates rose above overall workforce levels years before AI adoption. Data indicate that too many graduates flocked to computing-related majors, facing tougher job markets. Interviews and career advice emphasize honing communication skills and demonstrated interest to navigate the competitive landscape. Simultaneously, EMBA students at Wharton voice frustration over AI-graded assignments lacking transparency and constructive feedback, raising critical discussions about technology integration in elite business education.
