The debate will continue for a very long period of time over whether the BusinessWeek or U.S. News and World Report school rankings are more accurate. Both of these rankings certainly have their merits. We will say that more recruiters use the BusinessWeek rankings than any other system. 

BusinessSchoolAdmission.Com's Business School Rankings

Our rankings are extremely subjective and we do not eliminate the possibility that if we were to do them again, there would be a few small tweaks to the ranking table you see above. We looked at the program's selectivity, prestige, and reputation amongst recruiters. After we did this, we then compared our rankings to the "big 2" of BusinessWeek and U.S. News and World Report and were quite surprised with the analysis. 

We really did set out to establish an impartial ranking based on our own knowledge of the business schools. Of the 28 schools listed above, 12 received a ranking by BusinessSchoolAdmission.com that was outside the bounds of the other rankings. However, only 2 of these schools, Emory and Purdue, were ranked more than 2 positions beyond the bounds of the other rankings. 

One of 2 things must be true. Either we were subconsciously biased by the other MBA rankings or we are generally happy with these results. We believe it is the latter.
