According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior VP-Publishing, "We are pleased to recommend the Lally School to readers of our book and users of our site, www.PrincetonReview.com, as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA. We chose the 301 business schools in this book based on our opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools, who are the ones that rate and report on their campus experiences in our survey for the book."

"The Best 301 Business Schools: 2010 Edition" school profiles have admission, academics, financial aid, campus life and career information. Introductory chapters provide advice on taking the GMAT, applying to the schools and excelling at them. In the profile on Lally, Princeton Review editors describe the school as: “a program that combines technological innovation and a focus on entrepreneurship in a team-oriented curriculum that cuts across all business functions." They quote from students attending Lally who say that Lally is an “entrepreneurship program friendly to those with technical backgrounds,” and “one of the best schools in providing a technology-driven MBA." Students also mention the personal attention they receive: “Even in the larger classes, you can tell that the professors really know who everyone is.”

In a "Survey Says" sidebar in the profile, The Princeton Review lists topics that Lally students it surveyed were in most agreement about. The list includes: “Solid Preparation in General Management, Doing Business in a Global Economy, and Entrepreneurial Studies, along with Friendly Students, Good Social Scene, and Smart Classrooms." The Princeton Review's survey for the book asked students about themselves, their career plans, and their schools’ academics, student body and campus life. The Princeton Review does not rank the business schools in the book, or name one business school best overall. Almost all of the student surveys were completed online at The Princeton Review's student survey site.
