MBA Rankings: All 2024 Rankings

Wow! This looks so colorful. A bit clumsy yes, but informative nonetheless. What took me by surprise, and is a strikingly noticeable, is the consistency of Haas over these years!

Thanks for compiling this bb

PS. All the colors are the appropriate school colors that match accordingly. So it is not just colorful for the heck of it.

Good job Vyshak


Maybe using a lighter background color will make it look less cluttered?


How on earth did I miss that?

Another observation: The top half of the image looks so calm, which shows the top B-schools are more or less consistent, whereas, the bottom half is all turbulence and shows the heavy variations in the consistency of the schools in that range.

Yes, it is a fight to the death below top 20 in the chart - a dog-eat-dog world whereas it is a peace and calm above the 20 marker. Feels almost like a social divider. huh. never looked at it that way.

The more I see different ranking lists with wild fluctuations in some schools' positioning, the more I realize that you cannot live and die by a school rank. Just as the school needs to look at more than just your GMAT score when deciding whether or not to consider taking you in, you as an applicant have got to look at the total package and not just the position on a list. I mean, how can a school be in the top 3 on one list and not even crack the top 20 on another? And some of these lists are US-centric besides, which doesn't help much if you're looking at UK/European schools as well. That said, this post is definitely helpful. Thanks for posting!

I second that! very good point
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing MBA programs is specializations. Students have the opportunity to either pursue a general management program or complete a specialization as part of the MBA program. Specializations are a matter of choice and all students receive the same MBA education regardless of whether or not they complete a specialization. Students should consider their career goals and professional development in settling on a specialization. While new fields are arising, most schools have several standard specializations. Look at notable programs with lists of specializations that interest you. Most universities will include a list of their MBA specializations, or concentrations, on their websites.

Narenn this is awesome. So informative and interactive, great job. Do you know anywhere I could find the YOY source data? So that I could track a specific metric (i.e. GMAT scores or Acceptances rate) over time?

We presently don't have any such comparison but it's a great idea. We will certainly try to make such comparison sheet in coming weeks. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hello GMAT Club,

We have revamped this topic: Separating stats from rankings, adding links of Part time, EMBA, Online, and international rankings. Introduced some cool new rankings such as Best European/Asian business schools, or MBA programs with highest ROI, etc.

Tell us what you feel about the new structure, anything we can include in the comparison, etc.

Here's my MBA ranking :

1) Harvard
2) Stanford
3) Wharton
4) Booth
5) Sloan
6) Columbia
7) Kellogg
8) Haas
9) Tuck
10) Yale

What do you think?

Yale in top 10 is a "variable" thing. https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-rankings ... ml#p770991 - history of the top 50. You can see that Stern has been in Top 10 longer than Yale, until a stupid data error that US News punished them. Doh. Yale SOM gets a lot of publicity because of Yale, not SOM, but it still is more recognizable than Stern, so unlikely to get renamed into anything but Yale SOM.

Do we have rankings of schools that provide MPA/MPP course?

US News does release MPP rankings, but if you are looking for rankings of MBA/MPP dual degree programs then I don't think US News or Businessweek release these rankings. I found this list of top concurrent MBA degree programs though.. https://www.ivyadmissionsgroup.com/blog ... mba-degree

Thanks for the reply. DO you have any stats on the placements after MPP/MPA course (not for the dual degree)?

Is there also a list for european schools?

European schools that offer MBA or MPP programs?

I don't know if consolidated placement stats of MPA/MPP programs posted anywhere but you can easily get them on the websites of respective schools. e.g. Here are placements stats of Goldman https://gspp.berkeley.edu/career-servic ... statistics
