Maybe it's the best MBA ranking ever, and all the other ones have been drastically incorrect?

Re: Worst 2009 MBA Ranking EVER! [#permalink]
Since I don't read spanish I can't really figure out what their rubric is... however after looking at the rankings, they aren't TERRIBLE. I mean it just seems to have shifted a great deal from 08 to 09. It seems like 08 rankings were more on par with USNEWS... with HSW taking the top 3 spots.

A bias towards IE Business school located in Madrid (surprise!) and other Spanish schools but nothing too shocking

If this ranking was credible, that means I should have saved $1400 I spent on MGMAT and score GMAT in 600's and apply to Boston University MBA program.....

:-D

HBS crowd has no complaints ;-)

P.S. I'm actually in Madrid now and I must tell you that it's the best city ever! I'd actually consider IE just because of the location ;-)

Very skewed towards Spanish schools, which does not surprise me.

in case nobody has noticed... this ranking is for global mba... which is very new to most schools and markedly different from the full time day mba program.

Good choice of city (it's my hometown), but with an HBS degree, you could plop yourself in Madrid anytime.
