DISCLAIMER: This is just a "popularity in GMAT Club" ranking. The ranking is based on the number of thread views of each school's "Calling All Applicants" thread. So the method is definitely not scientific. It's just interesting to see what schools get more interest at GMAT Club.
*** Consortium is not a school but was left for comparison purposes.

DISCLAIMER: This is just a "reply/view activity in GMAT Club" ranking. The ranking is based on the number of views divided by replies of each school's "Calling All Applicants" thread. So the method is definitely not scientific. It's just interesting to see what schools get more interest at GMAT Club. Why silent? Not sure if that's the best name, but basically it is the schools who generate a lot of attention (thread views) but have few posts - reflects the silent/competitive/snobby/etc applicants who do not participate but rather just view.

Interesting, thanks bb.

FWIW - Shouldn't popularity traffic numbers be weighted based on class size to get better results? I know this is just for fun, but just my 78 cents. Of course there are assumptions to be made, but...

For ex - Tuck may have higher weighted popularity than IDK Ross? (250 students versus ~500?)

Think!

Thank you BSD_Lover - I have not done the international schools. I will add those as well. (Pretty excited actually do it)

I like the idea very much (replies per seat or views per seat?)
I will also be making a different table/ranking later on - similar to this one, which will take into consideration class size: admission-chances-for-gmat-club-members-97806.html
