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...

saruba · **Posted:** Wed Sep 02, 2009 2:30 pm

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:** Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:09 pm

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 2:29 pm

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

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

Thanks,

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

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.
