UF is currently ranked in the mid 30's, but has been rising precipitously in rank and reputation recently. Still, if you're hard and fast on "top 25", it may not fit your bill. One bonus of Florida is that if you can score 720+ GMAT, they will throw money at you, making it possible to earn a highly ranked MBA in 1 year with minimal debt. My 720 was "too old" so I decided on the working professional MBA in Gainesville, but am extremely happy with the education I received from UF! Another bonus to UF is that you just can't beat the social atmosphere and the cost of living is very cheap compared to Berkeley, CA, Chicago, New York, Boston, etc...

Cornell (ranked ~15) also has a 1 year MBA; the program is limited to Scientists and engineers.
