Stanford and Harvard both have a claim to the top seat. I personally believe Stanford is #1 but there are perfectly valid arguments for why Harvard is #1. They're essentially interchangeable.

Wharton is clear #3. Worse than Stanford and Harvard but solidly better than the rest.

The rest of the schools can fight among themselves, but the top 3 are not going anywhere in the near term at least, no matter what the idiots at US News say to generate clicks. 

 

Current Booth student. I don't think anyone here really cares tbh. At the Wharton/Booth level of MBA you will get looks anywhere and it's up to you to convert those opportunities. The Wharton name carries more prestige imo, especially to the general public.
