Business school rankings

by prachich1987 » Sat May 21, 2011 8:32 pm
hi,

Which rankings are most reliable?
ft rankings or business week rankings.
They differ a lot n hence i am confused which one to follow :?
Thanks!

Both rank differently. FT ranks by salary increase post-MBA. BW ranks by students/recruiters' opinion of the programs. I think FT is more reliable as it's more fact-based, less qualitative.

How about the Economist ranking compared to the 2 that you mentioned?

honestly... there's no ONE that you should follow. What do you mean by follow too? They come out once a year so just take a look at each. Also take them with a grain of salt and don't make any concrete decisions based on them

Agree. Usually the Universities that appear in one magazine also appears in another but just in different order. And from my experience the professors from top 50 universities teach at multiple locations anyway within those institutions.

I'm not sure how true the last statement is.... The one about professors teaching at multiple locations. Actually I'd venture to say that it's not true of the say top 15 schools
