Legend:
BW - Business Week Ranking
E - The Economist Ranking
FT - Financial Times Ranking

Also, some other GMAT minimum requirements for top European Schools: (thanks to ibdi)
LBS - it says that they would "not be comfortable if candidates scored less than 30 in the verbal section or less than 40 in the quantitative section of the test, unless there were genuine extenuating circumstances and strong compensating evidence elsewhere (eg an outstanding academic record)"
HEC - I think they just mention 650 as a minimum, but again, in case of outstanding candidates, they may make an exception
LSE - for MSc in Finance and Economics, quant score above 85. percentile is required
LSE - for MSc in Finance there is no mention of any recommendations or requirements

*ISB Hyderabad non-Indian applicants can apply till January 15, 2010.
**Toronto (Rotman) non-Canadian applicants have to apply from Nov 15, 2009 till Apr 30, 2010.
***York (Schulich) non-Canadian and non-US applicants have to complete the application by March 1, 2010.

Tuition figures expressed in currency other than USD were converted to USD (as of Sep 1, 2009) unless otherwise noted. Please see the School's link for more info on the tuition fees.
If you find any information inaccurate or think we left out some school, please, do let us know! We hope the info is helpful.

great work dzyubam!

Guys I applaud your effort in collating this list. I love the rankings

- but when I put my personal biases aside, I feel that this ranking set is dangerous, not because it is inaccurate, but because it makes the mistake of comparing schools that should never be compared head to head. For a more accurate assessment of where these schools stand in terms of rankings / reputation and prestige, I still prefer the clustered approach that I borrowed liberally from Hjort here :
ranks-and-clusterings-of-various-international-b-schools-78320.html

Having said that, I love having all this information together at one place and if one were to simply ignore the rankings, one can get a great "overview" of all schools in this page. So kudos...

That's very useful, thank you!
The only thing that should be added is that this ranking is based on the MBA rankings.

Thanks! This was not really intended as a "ranking" or "performance" of schools - rather just a snapshot with all important info on one page.

For HKUST, class size = 90, this year it is 114.
Tuition cost this year = 48k (USD)

Thanks! Done.
I remember when it was 50 (I was lucky to spend a semester at HKUST - fantastic experience)

HI mates,

I've got a question for you:

the column called Intnl %, what exactly does it mean?

Specifically, in the case of IE, does it mean that 89% is not spanish? or that 89% of the people is not from USA?

Thanks for the clarification

dzyubam · **Posted:** Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:09 am

Hi,

It should mean that 89% of applicants are not the residents of Spain in case of IE. It should work for other schools the same way.

Thanks for the answer dzyubam

I know IE BS and that figure seems to be a little bit higher than it should be...

I'll try to check that figure

Snayt · **Posted:** Sat Oct 10, 2009 3:29 pm

Class size at IESE is 226 with 80% of international students.

Can anyone tell me the range of gmat scores for CEIS?

Thanks,

JamesT · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 11:04 pm

Just curious...Why is Queen's University not on the list? I think it's been #1 on BW for a few years now...

Great question...especially since they have a MBA program with Cornell which definitely garners international recognition.

Thanks for the list

tarun · **Posted:** Tue Dec 29, 2009 4:24 am

Perhaps it can be expanded to include schools such as Nanyang Business School, Singapore and Asian Institute of Management, Manila.

I know that new FT rankings have been released. Can somebody compile the other rankings as well in a comprehensive manner. :?:

Thanks.
