Honestly, how much can an applicant take these rankings seriously with Kellogg, Wharton, Harvard, and Stanford not in the top 5?

These rankings represent not a real ranking of educational quality, which doesn't exist, but the results of a recruiter survey. As such it is useful, especially if you can't get into H/S/W, to know what recruiters claim to hold dear. It is clearly not the be-all-and-end-all to choosing a school.

The methodology is worth looking at (http://www.careerjournal.com/reports/bschool06/20060920-methodology.html) if you really want to understand the limitations of and the basis for this survey. You will quickly see that some of the attributes might not be very important to you, for example "Overall value for the money invested in the recruiting effort."

So use the information if and when it helps you and ignore it if it doesn't.

I am still in high school and right now I am looking for a top college in undergraduate business. One of the main things I am looking for in the college is the amount of internships available at the college. Would anyone know the schools with the top number of internships. Also would someone know how much difference there really is in the number of internships really available schools like Wharton and Chapel Hill?
Thanks
