For example: R4 is usually, but not always, for domestic applicants only. Tuition can vary for in-state vs. out-of-state students, in such a case it is stated in the following format: in-state/out-of-state. Enjoy! The information prepared by timetrader . If you find any information inaccurate/or think some school should be on this list, please, do let us know!

Do you have a similar list for part-time or online programs?

No we don't. That might be added to our to-do list. Thanks for a suggestion!

Thanks! Will have it out in a week or two.

If you are thinking about adding , could you also add executive MBA list too. Thanks.

hey will be givin my gmat in feb...aiming for atleast a 720+...will apply with atleast 3 yrs of good work experience for the batch starting fall 2012....i am computer engineer by qualification and working in an investment bank as a trainee...would definitely be applying to schools well - known for finance..my peers tell me it is necessary to go to a school with a solid brand value...can somebody help me with my shortlisiting of schools???...some sort of comparison of schools known for finance and where the acceptance rate of international students is good??? kindly help..

I believe wharton stands in the top when it comes to finance. About the brand value, any of the top 10 has a great brand value. However, Harvard, Stanford and Wharton has regarded as the top three in most cases. For subject wise ranking...businessweeks website can be a good resource.......

Does this list include only US based schools ? If not can we add INSEAD here .
