It looks like the finance-heavy schools took a couple points hit on the ratings. Wharton, Chicago Booth, and Columbia all dropped 2 points -- my theory is that employment stats took a hit at these schools. Yale and Duke jumped up a couple spots, as did Carnegie Mellon. UCLA and Cornell took a hit in the rankings this year.
