Ultra Elite List

I still find it interesting that people are shocked to see Haas grouped up there with the top schools like Tuck and others. Haas has made quite a bit of progress in recent years and is definitely a school where all the top firms in almost all industries spend time recruiting at.

I put it above many of the other schools based just on it's like 2% acceptance rate. Based on the Chatters in the chat room this year, we had H/S/W/M admits with alot of K/B admits and no Haas admit.

Hi everyone, I know these discussions about ranking schools can get pretty heated but I wanted to share how one of the MBB firms categorizes the top US MBA programs into "elite" versus "highly selective" for the purpose of resume scoring. It's interesting to see the perspective from a major recruiter.

As for my source, I just left one of the MBB firms and I was very involved in recruiting (resume scoring and on-campus interviewing)

May I ask which firm this is that lists Olin, Marshall, UNC, Emory and McCombs in the same cluster as Tuck and Haas?

And may I ask why Duke is in the Elite cluster whereas Tuck and Haas are not?
