Haha may be Poets and Quants has an interesting take on this. It says that Alumni were not satisfied with how Wharton handled pandemic and as a protest did not participate in the alumni survey

Many schools are dropping out of these rankings systems as they believe they do not provide the correct comparison. Tepper opted out of Economist ranking and thus it impacted its position on the Poets & Quants rankings this year. US News rankings thus remain the only somewhat believable rankings out there but that too can be misleading at times.

"Some of this year-over-year movement may have been caused by significant changes in the Financial Times‘ methodology, the most dramatic in recent memory. The British newspaper lessened the weight it gives to salaries and added a new metric that purports to measure the carbon footprint of a business school. What a school’s carbon footprint has to do with a quality MBA experience is anyone’s guess, but the FT deems it more important than 12 of the 21 metrics counted in this ranking. The 4% weight given to carbon is now greater than the importance given to gender parity, diversity, female faculty, and even international course experience. No less crucial, the FT either altered the weights or subtracted or added new metrics in more than two-thirds of the 21 measurements that go into the ranking." https://poetsandquants.com/2023/02/12/f ... %20ranking .

FT rankings are prone to outliers due to the number of parameters

MBA research & decisions are better made with country-specific rankings than world rankings so FT is out anyway This should not be a cause for concern. USN is still the most credible

Hey were you able to book slot?

Any recent interview experiences?

I had mine last week, didn’t post a debrief because every question had been covered in others. It was quite conversational and the interviewer laid out the structure and types of question that will be asked at the beginning. It was almost like they were reading from a script You would definitely be asked about your experiences with diversity and inclusion, and how do you plan to learn from a diverse cohort
