<p>Top three business schools: Stanford, The University of Chicago and Harvard, in that order.</p>
<p>Interesting data in the article. Thoughts?</p>
<p>It’s largely the usual suspects. It’s perhaps a bit surprising that Chicago is ranked higher than Penn, but it’s not unbelieveable.</p>
<p>For MBA programs, I have Wharton on the same tier as Chicago with the rest of the M7 outside H&S (and with Kellogg, Sloan, & Columbia). I’d throw Tuck in there as well.</p>
<p>Haas, UCLA, Cornell, Darden, Ross, Fuqua, Yale, and Stern in the next tier (maybe UNC, Tepper, McCombs, USC, McDonough; maaaaybe Kelley and Goizueta)</p>
<p>I would take this ranking with a grain of salt.
This ranking uses different metrics, namely, 5 year MBA gain in salary. Wharton pre MBA salaries are higher therefore the 5 year MBA gain after MBA will be smaller. I can’t see how they could get accurate numbers of average salaries 5 years out of MBA schools.For example, my D has changed jobs recently with slightly lower income to reduce commute time and stress level because she plans to have a family. She is exactly 5 years out from MBA school. Some of her classmates have even left the workforce to be full time mothers.</p>
<p>For MBA, there’s a clear and significant difference between Haas and Anderson, Johnson and the like. Haas could even be better than Tuck and Columbia.</p>
<p>There’s a difference. I would put Tuck, Stern, and Haas at the bottom of the top 10, but it’s a matter of gradation.</p>
