I created the following site. It shows all the 5 major published MBA rankings as well as an aggregated score (for what it's worth). Hopefully it's a useful and informative site for you!

I think you should leave out the Economist and Business Week, they are not really credible sources. Their ranking methods seem very odd, and they deviate significantly from the true value of an MBA. For example, starting at the top of the list, BW places Chicago above Harvard and Stanford ???!? And Economist places Darthmouth & Haas above Harvard and Stanford?

You can debate whatever metrics you like, but most people are interested in a ranking which shows the post-graduation opportunities available, and the Economist and BW are wrong almost from top to bottom. I believe these rankings use an "employer feedback" method, which doesn't make sense. For example, I'm sure Deutsche Bank is upset they cannot hire H/S/W grads for their mediocre salary, so probably prefer the Haas/Columbia grads.

I think U.S. News is the only rankings which truely reflects the public perception of the degree, the quality of the admits, and the quality of the post-graduation opportunities.

I agree with most of what you are saying, but it's not really what most people look for in a "ranking". If you rate undergraduate institutions based on the actual program, you would see schools like Miami U in OH, and William in Mary in VA at the top of the list. HYPMS might not even make the top 10. However, people will kill to get into these 5 schools because they are known to be the most competitive, produce the most job offers, and give you a reputation which gives you an advantage for the rest of your life. Simply put, nobody turns down HYPMS to go to Miami U, even if the program is better.

Similarly, in MBA rankings, people want the most competitive class, the best "seal of approval" on their resume, and the highest ROI on their money AND time. When you consider this, any ranking which doesn't have H/S/W at the top probably doesn't reflect what people are interested in. Furthermore, if you look at applicant profiles from H/S (and even Wharton as well), they are notably different from profiles of other top 10 schools. GMAT doesn't even tell the whole story as these schools are known to reject 800s.

Right, clearly the only way anyone could be ranked ahead of Harvard or Stanford is if employers game the rankings out of spite. Get a life.

A couple of things:

- Salaries between the schools you named are statistically indistinguishable
- "Employer feedback" is also used by your beloved US News ranking
- The Economist measures things like salary increase and career opportunities, while US News relies on GMAT scores and admissions rates

Literally everything you said is wrong. We are all dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

1. What doea anyone think about the IE Business School's Global MBA program and UNC Kenan Flagler BS's MBA@UNC? Both are online programs.

2. Which, IE or UNC Kenan Flagler BS is better?

3. If working in the US for a global organization, who a US or European MBA be better?
