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
business school rankings 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, Purdue and USC, 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 rankings. We believe it
is the latter.
Wall Street Journal Business School Rankings
The Wall Street Journal's annual business school rankings continue to produce
findings that make
people talk but largely draw disagreement. There is a methodology, believe it or
not, but it is based on small sample sizes and
encourages recruiters to discuss a particularly good or bad experience at one of
the schools. This is quite convenient for making the 'objective' rankings
a bit controversial shall we say. For example, the first-ever Wall Street
Journal rankings placed Stanford in 45th place, and only gradually raised it to
positions 39 and 30 in subsequent years. (Enough said.)
