Dear prachich1987,

I'm not surprised you are confused by the various rankings--they have varying methodologies that change each year and each publication has a different focus. Thus rankings should not be used to determine where you will apply or make the decision on where to go; rankings are a place to start in your research, to gather information on many schools in one place. You need to figure out what you want/need from your MBA experience; then evaluate potential programs against your personal criteria to come up with your own ranking. For tips on identifying possible programs, please read our sticky on school selection.

Good luck,
Lisa
