MBA Rankings: All 2024 Rankings

Thanks for sharing such important listing. Can you provide the ranking of Russian universities, Ural and Ulyanovsk ?

I think you just nailed the problem with rankings. If you take a look at the different school statistics on this website BestMatchForYou you'll notice regional differences in post-grad employment, life-style differences etc. Clearly some employers hire by geography not just by tank. And when it gets into program style, curriculum or specialization... it gets too difficult to properly rank. But you can use the site I mentioned to compare and make your own decision.

Didn't WSJ use to publish MBA rankings as well? I think I remember seeing something like this. Or did they stop?

@Narenn Thanks a lot for the list. I wanted to know which is the most reliable and suitable source for 2014 MBA rankings for MBA FULL TIME ( US + International )
FT? Forbes? Economist? or any other?

We can not explicitly state which is most reliable as each of these companies ranks business schools with its own criteria; however, for US schools, people generally tend to refer rankings published by US News, Forbes, & Economist, and for International schools, rankings of BusinessWeek, FT.

Narenn

define weird??

Why IIMs missing from above list. Is they performing so bad?

IIM Ahmedabad is ranked 30th and IIM Bangalore is ranked 36th by Financial Times 2014, which is not included in the ranking charts in the first post. The reason is FT, unlike all others, does not publish separate rankings for International schools.

Also any of IIM-A, IIM-B, and ISB, is not in the rankings of BW and Forbes.

If possible in future we should have ranking for different countries.
I mean FT already has "global MBA ranking". We can have that list here and have an option to sort by country.

Anyways, great efforts so far

It's nice seeing higher acceptance rates (50%+) for some of the top 50 schools...gives me hope with a low UGPA and a GMAT score I have yet to receive!

Thanks!! Here are the ranking tables in excel format for downloading.

Bro, the only reasonable program that fulfills your time and internship requirements is INSEAD.
If you extend the time thingy to 18 months, then you can include LBS too.
But no reasonable program will offer you internship and short program duration in a bundle...
As far as rankings are concerned, you may refer to the following.

Kellogg
Johnson
Emory
USC
Notre Dame
Boston U.
Babson
Thunderbird
Florida (Hough)
Katz
Pepperdine
Willamette (Atkinson)

Just wanted to throw this into the ring: a crowdsourced GMATClub ranking for the top MBAs:

Who knows? Maybe we'll see this up alongside the other rankings on the front page one day

So I was just reading through this ranking. Could someone help me with this: What is the deal with this ranking? In all other rankings (Economist, FT, USNews), the ranking are more or less similar, probably just a change of +/- 1-2 places here and there. But how do Bloomberg rankings have such huge changes for the B School? Why is that?

The methodology is quite different. You can find a number of articles which discuss it.

Between the rankings from USN, BW, Forbes, FT, and QS; is there an "official" Top 10 MBA program? The top 5-7 is usually consistent but the rest differs with different rankings. Top 8-10 ranges from Michigan, Duke, NYU, Cornell, Berkeley, and Yale rounding off the top 10.

So are all these considered "top 10"?

There is no official ranking. Rankings themselves are rather meaningless, but people still look to look at them, so business magazines still make money off of publishing them.

I would say most people think in terms of H/S at the top, W almost at the top, then Booth, Columbia, Kellogg, and Sloan rounding out the "M7". All those school you mentioned (Ross, NYU, Fuqua, Cornell, Haas, Yale) are seen as great, would be put into their own tier.

Here's a repost from the Crowdsouced MBA rankings, where 20,000 people rated schools against one another: https://www.allourideas.org/topmbarankings/results

The Best:
Harvard - 89 (scores out of 100)
Stanford - 89

- Again, no debate - (unless you're BusinessWeek). The only reason either of these does not score 100 is because of the other.

Almost H/S:
Wharton - 81

- Clearly behind H/S, but clearly distanced from the rest of pack.

M7:
Columbia: 72
Northwestern - 69
Chicago - 69
MIT - 66

- These schools have all narrowed - they're clearly behind H/S/W, but clearly ahead of everyone else. At this point in the rankings, it seems like from a "which is better" perspective, what really matters is your personal preference on location, career, etc.

The "M9"?:
UC Berkeley - 56
Dartmouth - 52

- These two schools are consistent in outperforming the remainder of schools - however, still clearly behind the M7. Very steep drop off here.

Almost Elite:
NYU - 42
Duke - 42
Yale - 41

- BusinessWeek's #1 school is fallen to #11 here - meaning on average, there are 10 schools that people would rather go to. That said, Duke and Yale seem to be on their way up, while NYU seems to be heading down.

Almost Almost Elite:
UCLA - 29
UVA - 29
UMich - 27
Cornell - 22

The Rest of the Best:
CMU - 10
UT - 8
