My thoughts: I have to agree with Nikil's assessment of the rankings. While the rankings can be a benchmark in making a decision, I too believe it is quite subjective depending on what the applicant wants. While its nice to get a feel for the kind respect a particular school has garnered in each of the specialities, I personally would not make a decision based solely on the rankings that appear in some journal/news service.
Come on folks, let's hear what you have to say about this topic

Ultimately, your success in the MBA program and beyond is really dependent on you! Despite the rankings of your school, you need to work hard to network with classmates, reach out to alumni and utilize the resources of the career center to find your dream opportunity.
So look beyond a school’s overall ranking. Research the programs and make your ‘own’ rankings based on criteria that is relevant to you (I think ‘number of social functions’ was on my list!) Otherwise, you might overlook a program that could be well suited for your post-MBA goals.
