US News MBA Ranking 2024
Surprised nobody is talking about this just yet. Apparently school administrators and Reddit people are losing it over this new ranking.
Have we transcended prestige whoring or people are just coping since the new liberal methodology challenges their pre-conceived notion of prestige?
RIPBOZO H/S, you have served your purposes. B/K/W is the new buzzword now.
After reviewing the rankings, I’ve decided to give up my deposit at Stanford and attend Tuck instead. I can’t imagine attending a school outside of the T6. Go Big Green!
Seems like Wharton does just enough to stay top 3 regardless what methodology it is, mad consistency right there
What I have heard is that USnews have some ranking issues with Med schools and Law schools, so the credibility of their B-Sch ranking might be also quite dubious. They have adjusted the ranking methodology this year and this might be the reason why the ranking 2024 varies so much from the HSWCC/M7/S16 that Finance industry adopted. In terms of MBAs, I think USnews is making some mistakes here and we definitely should take more than a grain of salt. CBS is not in TOP10 and Stern is 10th. Kellogg 2th. Stanford and Tuck both ranked at 6th. WTF
I don't know if PhD/master degrees in Finance, Business Analytics, marketing or Accounting is considered in this ranking. MSF is usually considered to be less prestigous than MBA, but this is indeed a graduate business school ranking.
I go to H/S but apparently there was a huge number of kids turning H/S down for Kellogg and Booth this year.
In all seriousness, Ivy League schools, like H/S, have gotten way to comfortable with being “the top.” They’re beginning to sacrifice education by letting a bunch of ideologues cram down fringe leftist ideologies. Some federal judges stopped hiring from Yale Law for this reason and it won’t/shouldn’t be long before companies start doing that to these business schools. It only takes a company hiring a few activists before they stop recruiting at H/S and opt for Kellogg instead.
Have heard from a Cornell grad that almost nobody attends MBA classes at Cornell (They are all spending time on networking and parties). Also have heard that at Top Business schools, courses are quite difficult but it's okay to suck at these courses since GPA will never be released.
Is that true?
Yes, but only at top MBAs (I believe all m7s excluding Kellogg). Although I hear that other schools including yale, Cornell have non grade disclosure policies now too, though I don't know how those work in practice
The curve is designed for you to "fail" at a passing grade at most top programs. They can't very well have kids with job offers waiting just flunking out.
At my school that’s largely true, except people still attend class. However, grades don’t matter, people party a lot, etc.
Props to W for consistently being on top
