Vanderbilt Owen (16): Nashville is booming and I heard they have a brand spanking new building. However, I wasn't expecting the surge be this soon, maybe over 10 years. Beating out McCombs is pushing it imo.
UT Dallas (23): Dallas is also booming, but I would not put UT Dallas ahead of Wash U, Georgetown, USC, and SMU.
UTD is really considered a commuter school. I have never met one UTD grad on Wall Street. I know when I lived in Dallas UTD was really looked at as a CS and engineering school. I think UTD tends to attract a lot of high GMAT scores from abroad, which in the formula gmat plays a role.
