Forget the USNEWS and BW rankings. These are the true GMATClub rankings for your B-schools. Based on mneo's popular post last year, I thought it would be timely to release the 2009 Rankings.
2008 Rankings: the-all-new-gmatclub-business-school-rankings-58341.html#p418605DISCLAIMER: This is just a "popularity in GMATClub" ranking. The ranking is based on the number of thread views of each school's "Calling All Applicants" thread. So the method is definitely not scientific (Imagine many views Kellogg got just because of river and Booth got because of rhyme). It's just interesting to see what schools get more interest at GMATClub. If your school is missing from the ranking, please feel free to add.
Drum roll, please...
