2012 US News Ranking

Will McCombs hold on to it top 20 position? Is it possible that it inches into the top 15 club? Last year ranked at 16.

University of Phoenix overtakes HBS.

US News follows BW and places Southern Methodist over Dartmouth, NYU and Yale.

UNC should move up a few spots. Low placement rates hurt them last year, but from what I've gathered those rebounded nicely last year and their average GMAT is up.

was thinking about posting this too.

Gtown....top 20
Yale top 10

Let not forget USNEWS is heavily based ion GMAT/GPA and acceptance rate.

Well, points to you jordanhendrix. Looks like Yale made it to the Top 10 after all.

To be fair it looks like they're considering the "Top 11" schools because of a tie, so I'm guessing the 10th school on the list is tied with the 11th.

^^^Kudos for the link!


Yale doesn't deserve to be amongst those schools....not yet at least.

Its their crazy high gmat average...722
thats nutty

I agree- and they might very well end up as #11 this year again...

My prediction:
1) Stanford
2) HBS
3) Sloan
3) Wharton
5) Kellogg
5) Booth
7) Haas
7) Tuck
9) CBS
10) Stern
10) YSOM
12) Ross
13) Fuqua
14) Darden

Top 5 prediction
1. Wharton
2. Stanford
3. HBS
4. Booth
5. Haas

Will Texas struggle to stay in the top 20?

I love March Madness! I filled out a bracket too:

1. Harvard
1. Stanford
3. Wharton
4. Chicago Booth
4. MIT Sloan
6. NW Kellogg
7. Columbia
7. Dartmouth Tuck
9. UCB Haas
9. NYU Stern

Both Chicago Booth and Yale have a lot of momentum.
