Business School Rankings

World Report and US News recently published their annual rankings of the top Business Schools in the country.

This years top 5 include:
1- Harvard
2- Stanford
3- Northwestern (Kellogg)
4- U Penn (Wharton)
_______________2 WAY TIE FOR 5th
5- U Chicago (Booth)
5- MIT (Sloan)

The Methodology:
The 3 most critical facts which weigh on the overall score of the schools are...
1- Quality Assessment (based on peer schools deans/directors, and corporate recruitment agencies)
2-Post Grad Placement "Success"
3- Student Selectivity

To my surprise acceptance rates and undergraduate GPA had VERY minimal effect on the overall score each school received.
