  1. The Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly referred to as Stanford University or Stanford, is an American private research university located in Stanford, California on an 8,180-acre campus near Palo Alto. It is situated in the northwestern Silicon Valley, approximately 20 miles northwest of San Jose and 37 miles southeast of San Francisco. Stanford is considered to be one of the most prestigious universities in the United States and the world.[Leland Stanford, Governor and United States Senator of California and leading railroad tycoon, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, founded the university in 1891 in memory of their son, Leland Stanford, Jr., who died of typhoid two months before his 16th birthday.
    Since 1952, more than 54 Stanford faculty, staff, and alumni have won the Nobel Prize, including 19 current faculty members, and Stanford has the largest number of Turing award winners (dubbed the "Nobel Prize of Computer Science") for a single institution. Stanford is the alma mater of 30 living billionaires, 17 astronauts, and one of the leading producers of members of the United States Congress. Faculty and alumni have founded many prominent companies including Google, Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Sun Microsystems, and Yahoo!, and companies founded by Stanford alumni generate more than $2.7 trillion in annual revenue, equivalent to the 10th largest economy in the world. Stanford is also home to the original papers of Martin Luther King Jr.
    The university is organized into seven schools, including academic schools of Humanities and Sciences and Earth Sciences as well as professional schools of Business, Education, Engineering, Law, and Medicine. Stanford has a student body of approximately 7,000 undergraduate and 8,900 graduate students. Stanford is a founding member of the Association of American Universities.
    Stanford competes in 34 varsity sports and is one of two private universities in the Division I FBS Pacific-12 Conference. Stanford has won 103 NCAA championships (the second-most for a university), and Stanford's athletic program has won the NACDA Directors' Cup every year since 1995. Stanford athletes have won medals in every Olympic Games since 1912, winning 244 Olympic medals total, 129 of them gold. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Stanford won more Olympic medals than any other university in the United States and, in terms of total medals won, would have tied with Japan for 11th place.

  2. Stanford scored a 4.45 out of 5 on Business Insider's rating.
    The university's endowment, managed by the Stanford Management Company, was valued at $17.2 billion in 2008 and had achieved an annualized rate of return of 15.1% since 1998. The endowment fell 25% in 2009 as a result of the late-2000s recession, but posted gains of 14.4% in 2010 and 22.4% in 2011, when it was valued at $16.5 billion.
    As of 2011, 107 Stanford students or alumni have become Rhodes Scholars
    Stanford has been the top fundraising university in the United States for several years. It raised $911 million in 2006, $832 million in 2007, $785 million in 2008,[86] $640 million in 2009,$599 million in 2010, and $709 million in 2011.

    In 2006 President Hennessy launched a five-year campaign called the Stanford Challenge, which reached its $4.3 billion fundraising goal in 2009, two years ahead of time, but continued fundraising for the duration of the campaign. It concluded on December 31, 2011, having raised a total of $6.23 billion and breaking the previous campaign fundraising record of $3.88 billion held by Yale. Specifically, the campaign raised $253.7 million for undergraduate financial aid, as well as $2.33 billion for its initiative in "Seeking Solutions" to global problems, $1.61 billion for "Educating Leaders" by improving K-12 education, and $2.11 billion for "Foundation of Excellence" aimed at providing academic support for Stanford students and faculty. Funds supported 366 new fellowships for graduate students, 139 new endowed chairs for faculty, and 38 new or renovated buildings. Over 10,000 volunteers helped in raising 560,000 gifts from more than 166,000 donors.
    Stanford's current community of scholars includes:
    19 Nobel Prize laureates;
    152 members of the National Academy of Sciences;
    95 members of National Academy of Engineering;
    66 members of Institute of Medicine;
    268 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences;
    18 recipients of the National Medal of Science;
    "When you graduate from Stanford GSB you know precisely who you are, as well as who you are not. That pays more dividends professionally and personally than all the other assets combined."

  3. The school i want to attend is Harvard... it's tution fee is $48,600 ... First Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States

    Second its location in Cambridge/Boston

    Third, Harvard affiliated teaching hospitals are among the best in the world including Mass General, where a good portion of modern surgery was invented

    Fourth, Harvard Law School, arguably matched by Yale but of course not matched by Princeton, which has no law school

    Fifth, Harvard Business School, while matched by other schools such as Wharton (but certainly not Yale or Princeton) is still arguably the most influential business school in the United States for major Fortune 500 companies

    No other university in the world currently can match this lineup
    but its my opinion based on facts... : xx

  5. If I had 45,000$ I would pass at the University of Chicago. It is a private institution that was founded in 1892. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 5,388, its setting is urban, and the campus size is 215 acres. University of Chicago's ranking in the 2013 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, 4. Its tuition and fees are $44,574 according to 2012 searches. The University of Chicago, situated in Chicago’s Hyde Park community, offers a rich campus life in a big-city setting.freshmen are required to live on campus, and about 60 percent of students choose to remain on campus, while others live in off-campus apartments and houses.
    The University of Chicago is comprised of the College and a number of graduate and professional schools. Its postgraduate offerings include the highly ranked Booth School of Business, Law School, Pritzker School of Medicine, Harris School of Public Policy Studies, and Department of Geophysical Sciences, as well as a top-ranked graduate program in economics and a well-regarded Divinity School.
    I'm fond of it's concessions, 46.7 percent of full-time undergraduates receive some kind of need-based financial aid and the average need-based scholarship or grant award is $36,600.
    Due to 121 years business school experience, i prefer University of Chicago. In addition, you differ from another university students, because UC gives you high quality education and according to 2012 year's searches university of Chicago is leader in USA.

  6. MIT (Sloan)

    4th in list of top business schools ranking.
    The MIT Sloan School of Management, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is one of the world’s leading business schools — conducting cutting-edge research and providing management education to top students from more than 60 countries. The School is part of MIT’s rich intellectual tradition of education and research.

    Since I want to take IT as a minor, MIT will be nice opportunity for me to get the best education in both fields (BM and IT), because in any global rating MIT is the number 1 university in Information Systems.

  8. Stanford university
    The Graduate School of Business at Stanford University offers graduate programs in these departments and concentrations: accounting, e-commerce, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, general management, health care administration, human resources management, international business, leadership, manufacturing and technology management, marketing, management information systems, not-for-profit management, production/operations management, organizational behavior, portfolio management, public administration, public policy, real estate, sports business, supply chain management/logistics, quantitative analysis/statistics and operations research, and technology. Its tuition is full-time: $55,200 per year. At graduation, 75.6 percent of graduates of the full-time program are employed. Leadership is one focus of graduate business programs on Stanford’s sunny campus. Students grapple with simulations of tough management cases, like having to lay off employees. Each simulation is filmed, too, so students can critique themselves and learn from each other. The GSB also hosts the The View From the Top seminar series, which brings in leaders of major corporations across the country to speak to students about effective management.For students who want to explore a subject without committing to a degree, there are more than 30 cross-school elective courses to choose from. There are also specialty programs, like the Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship, open to graduate business students.The business school is located on the eastern end of the Stanford campus, and GSB students may live nearby in university housing. Most on-campus residents are first year M.B.A. students who all live in the same housing complex. Stanford has the best location anyone could dream of. The campus is beautiful and the weather is perfect all year round.

    Stanford Life for International Students:The moment international students set foot on the campus, they are immediately warmly welcomed into the community. While the community tries to remove any boundaries between the international students and the locals, they also make sure that the students are comfortable enough in the new environment.These cultural groups have proven to be a very vital part of student life. Local students and international students alike are heavily engaged in this constantly coming up with cultural events to raise awareness within the community. It gives students a chance to embrace their own culture and learn about a new one in a safe community.

  9. Academics:The reason why so many students dream of going to Stanford is the location combined with a top-tier education. Stanford is consistently ranked within the top 10 in all departments and the faculty are well-known for their research. Stanford students have the chance to take introductory seminars and get to know these professors and truly engage with the material they are given.

    Extracurriculars:the amount of extracurriculars are offered at the university.Stanford has everything - from religious groups, to cultural interest groups, to a gaming group. In fact, if students couldn’t find anything that they wanted to be a part of, they could just form a group themselves and add to the list of extracurriculars and groups that other students could explore.

    Culture:Stanford prides itself in being really open to all cultures.Stanford's student population is about 25% Asian/Asian-American and 7-10% international. Culture is a really important aspect to the overall college experience Another incredible aspect of Stanford culture is the strong feeling of Silicon Valley and the start-up culture here. Stanford sits close to the hub of start-ups. Most graduates end up staying close to campus, often working at a tech start-up, sometimes started by a Stanford alumni. What’s really cool about Stanford is that they really encourage their students to think out of the box, and get them the best hands-on experience possible. It is this vision that fuels the Stanford Design School. The Design school at Stanford is founded on goals of Change and Innovation, and the classes they offer encourage real-world innovation.

  10. Stanford Graduate School of Business comes out on top of the Princeton Review’s ranking of the business schools that offer students the best career prospects, as it did last year. In its just-released book, The Best 296 Business Schools, the New York-based test prep and educational services company dubs Stanford the top school in a career rating that takes into account statistical information supplied by the schools and surveys it collected from 19,000 students who attend the schools listed in its book. Since 1993, Princeton Review has put out annual business school guides. For the last nine years, the guides have ranked career prospects for graduates among its other ratings like academic experience, quality of life and best professors.

    To calculate which business schools offer the best career prospects, Princeton Review used two figures reported by each school: average starting salary and percent employed three months after graduation. Then it tallied in survey results that asked students to rate their schools in six areas: the efforts of their schools to help them find employment in a tough market, the quality of their schools’ placement offices, the level of the companies that recruit on campus, the opportunities for off-campus projects, internships and mentorships, the amount of career preparation they feel they are getting from their MBA programs, and the opportunity to work with mentors.
    At Stanford, students gave the school strong ratings on the survey, though Princeton Review doesn’t break out that information in its guide. According to data reported by the school, 92% of graduates had jobs three months after graduation. The average starting salary: $127,189. Princeton Review also reports that the greatest number of Stanford graduates, 38%, go into finance, while 31% pursue consulting. The cost of tuition, room and board per year at Stanford for those who live on campus: $87,480.
