locussolus - Once and for all

August 4, 2004

A reader is thinking about business school. Here are three lists of the top 10 bschools in the country, according to some reputable sources. I had thought Northwestern and U of C were the top two for last year, but either I was mistaken or that listing came from somewhere else...

According to Forbes.com:

1. Harvard
2. Columbia
3. University of Chicago
4. Dartmouth (Tuck)
5. Yale
6. University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
7. Stanford
8. UNC (Kenan-Flagler)
9. Northestern (Kellogg)
10. Virginia (Darden)

According to US News:

1. Harvard
2. Stanford
3. University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
4. MIT (Sloan)
5. Northwestern (Kellogg)
6. (tie) Columbia
6. (tie) University of Chicago
8. UCLA Berkeley (Haas)
9. Dartmouth (Tuck)
10. University of Michigan

And according to Business Week:

1. University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
2. Northwestern (Kellogg)
3. Harvard
4. MIT (Sloan)
5. Duke (Fuqua)
6. University of Michigan
7. Columbia
8. Cornell (Johnson)
9. Virginia (Darden)
10. University of Chicago

Interesting that the ratings are so different. You definitely get a picture of which ones are the very best though -- which is probably all that concerns this particular reader.
