Guys,

Do you know where I can find a ranking that compares US B Schools with Europe/Asia/Canada/Australia B Schools in the same ranking? I need to compare some schools and the ranking here just give this options in two different charts.

Thanks!

Hi BrunoP,

Apart from FT, Economist MBA rankings also provide you an option to compare US schools with MBA programs from other countries.

For your specific query of Fisher vs Rotman, Fisher was ranked 44th globally; however, Rotman was not ranked by the Economist.


Thanks Narenn!

Although FT has both schools, Economist just has Fisher (which makes more difficult to decide).
I will open a topic in "Which B School to Choose?" so I can get more feedbacks regarding this moment.

Hi rma26

I have not included work experience in the ranking table; where did you see that? :-) The number you are referring is perhaps average GPA, not work experience.

BTW, the data shown in our ranking table is taken from US News MBA rankings, so there can be some variation between stats shown in our ranking table and those on mba.com.

Narenn Oh yes! I got that later! I also found differences in gmat score in some cases. May be that is for regular change happening in admissions. btw, did you collected data for 69th ranked Babson College from their 1year MBA prog or 2year??

I need a help also. I am looking for full fund. So How should I use mid 80% gmat scores given by schools? Will I have to be in top 10% among applicants? Or higher than average score of students at that prog will be enough? If higher than average score is enough, how many higher than avrg score is proffered ?

It's for 2 year MBA.

Every school has its own criteria to award scholarships. GMAT is important but schools also consider other aspects of applicant's profile while awarding scholarships.

I find the Economist rankings a bit strange... Businessweek and Forbes rankings seem more reliable and conventional. Don't you agree?

Totally agree! check out the combined rankings by Poets and Quants, they do sort of an average of the 5 rankings:
"U.S. News is given a weight of 35%, Forbes, 25%, while both The Financial Times and Businessweek is given a 15% weight, and The Economist, 10%".

All the Full time MBA programs in the US are two year programs.
For other countries it is usually shorter.
