Ok..
Acceptance rate based ranking of online MBA's. I have few other rates which are worth mentioning
Acceptance rate. The acceptance rate reflects a school's selectivity. Being selective in whom it accepts into its programs is one way schools ensure that all of the students admitted will stand the best chances of completing an entire degree program. This type of selectivity for success works the same way as sports teams who only select the best players to ensure that the game goes well. Schools that are more selective are rewarded because it shows that the school is more concerned with ensuring a student's success than schools that are less selective.
Retention rate. Only the most successful and helpful schools will see their students returning year after year to continue their studies. A high retention rate indicates that students of the school are satisfied in their educational experience because they have not dropped out or transferred out of the institution. For this reason, schools with high retention rates are rewarded because students are more likely to be enjoying their educational experience and the school is also more likely to offer great incentives for students to stay, such as career counseling, course help, and a close-knit student and instructor community.
Graduation rate. High graduation rates are a good sign of quality education. The higher the graduation rate, the better the program must be at properly guiding students through their educational career. Schools with high graduation rates are rewarded because they most likely offer students plenty of help during their education, even to students who are struggling with their studies. At a school with a high retention rate, students typically receive tutoring, valuable feedback from instructors, and useful academic counseling, all of which ensures that every student receives any and all of the help that they may need.
Financial aid given rate. Great schools that truly focus on their students will be generous with financial support. A high financial aid grant rate shows that the school is willing to help out students who are dedicated but unable to readily pay the full tuition price tag. For this reason, schools with a high rate of financial aid are rewarded because the school is more likely to be needs-blind, which means that the institution will not favor those who can afford tuition over those who cannot. After all, many students will need assistance to pay for their education, and schools that are willing to provide this assistance are more student-centric than those that are less willing to provide financial aid.
Clickthrough rate. Interest in a school's programs is a great indicator of student satisfaction, as only the most intriguing programs will consistently grab the attention of prospective students. For this reason, schools with a higher clickthrough rate (CTR) are rewarded. CTR is calculated by figuring out the number of times someone clicks on a link to find out more about a certain school and dividing that number by how often the link appears. This means that even schools with more links per page are not necessarily at an advantage. Instead, schools with a higher CTR are genuinely those that are more actively getting students to express interest in their programs, indicating that they offer something that students are interested in.
