USnews has top 100 or something like that. BW has top 30 and then second tier. There is are small step down in the little sub-levels of schools. H/S then a slide to W then slide to Kellogg/Booth/MIT/Columbia then Tuck/Haas/NYU...etc. Once you get into the Mid 20s in rankings there is a pretty large difference between the Top 10 or so and the schools you would be looking at. It all depends on your career goals if its worth it or not. Look at each schools career reports and stats, even a school in the 30s to 50s arent going to be cheap, you are giving up two years salary and the career prospects may not justify it for you. Personally I would take a PT from a top school like Kellogg or Chicago before I would go fulltime to a low ranked school.

julia1177 wrote: What can you tell about this list of best MBA? http://mba-world.org/Based on a common sense and nothing but that, I wouldn't say anything positive of this list. What can you say about a list putting University of Phoenix above Kellog and INSEAD? There are many, more or less usefull, MBA directories on the net. Some of them have done very nice job on gathering information about various MBA programs throughout the World. However, their rankings are a complete waist of time. When it come to the rankings of the United States schools, US news seems to be indespensible. For international rankings you can use Financial Times or Businessweek, but you should take both with the grain of salt. For international rankings you could take a look on bsd_lovers' "Ranks and clusterings of various International b-schools" following this link: http://gmatclub.com/forum/ranks-and-clusterings-of-various-international-b-schools-78320.htmlThis is the most relable international ranking I've seen so far, so you could give your contribution overthere.

Thanks for the endorsement Pathfinder. This site can't even get the names right. It calls London Business School - London MBA University ? And seems to lift the rankings straight out of FT : http://www.mba-world.org/greatest-ten-m ... rsity.htmlI'd be very reluctant to take it seriously.

Excellent observation, I haven't noticed it - I guess due to the fact I haven't spent more than 40 seconds on that site. The moment I've seen afforementioned placement of Pheonix above Kellogg and INSEAD I turned off that page. When I referred to "more or less usefull MBA directories on the net" I meant something like this site: http://www.find-mba.com/It contains some usefull info on MBA programs throughout the world. Well, if not usefull - entertaining at least. I enjoyed playing with the info on various MBA programs in countries like Iceland, Moldova, Georgia or even Angola (OK, I'm a dork - I admit   ). Seriously, without any belittling, I was suprised how seriously people are trying to change something in their environments and to train some business people on the local level. Of course, it's all about money, but in some exotic countries you can make serious money on tobacco trafiking, you don't have to run a business school for that. Nevertheless, I think your initiative for international schools ranking is really great. With 50.000+ prospective students in this forum, GMATClub could easily becomme the most cited ranking in the near future. I think we should make some permanent ranking of US schools, Euro schools and one global ranking. We can do it in a form of survey, or we could make it in the form you already use for international schools where everyone could give their own pros and cons for a specific school. Why should we realy only on US news and FT (albeit we should consider them, definitelly) when we have 50.000+ oppinions of future students? Well, you should discount from that number brand whores like me, but that's great number even then

Cheers Pathfinder. The regional elite section will be expanded in the future to provide more information about those schools that are more obscure internationally but powerful regionally. Do you have any research or information on the Spanish schools ? If so please post on the rankings thread.

Spanish schools weren't really on my radar, so I don't know anything but information I've found on GMATclub. The only thing I've spoted recently is that IE started the online MBA program, which was kind of odd for me because I didn't expected a well regarded school to do something like that. It's not that I disrespect online MBA, I am aware that every commodity has a buyer, but... Well, maybe it just support your thesis that IE is the weakest among the three spanish schools. EDIT: Sorry, it wasn't your statement, but Greenoaks'

Hi all, Regarding Spanish Schools - I never considered applying to them myself; but this opinion about IE being the weakest (despite being ranked higher of the three), is quite widespread. I am not sure to which extent this is true, but know that one of gmatclubbers, Arjtryarjtry, did some research on IE, as he got admit from there (he will be attending Oxford Said though) - so maybe we could get more info from him. Back to the original topic - if we won't focus solely on US schools, it may be useful to check Financial Times rankings as well: http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/global-mba-rankings
