Please keep in mind the following when using MBA rankings:

  • You may be interested in pursuing a particular focus with your MBA, for instance in entrepreneurship. You may find that there are several schools (such as Babson or Acton) that are well known for entrepreneurship programs that do not rank highly in typical MBA rankings.
  • Of course, MBA rankings do not rank which MBA program is the best for you! All of the rankings have different ranking methodologies that are factored differently in the rankings. Typically they factor in statistics on the students (GMAT scores, undergrad GPAs, etc.), statistics on the school (acceptance rate, employment rate, etc.), and outsider opinions of the schools (from recruiters, professors, etc.). You should look at the rankings to find information on the factors that are important to you.
  • Rankings may not include things that are important to you, such as geography, social life, teaching method (i.e. case method), etc.
  • We advise that each applicant come up with their own list of critical criteria for an MBA program, and then generate their OWN ranking.
