<p>Again, once you leave the top 3, very little separates the remaining elite Law schools. </p>

22

<p>^ According to your numbers there is a 0.2 drop between #4 and #7. There is another 0.2 drop between #7 and #10. Likewise, there is another 0.2 drop from #10 to #16. So, how is it that you say the rating of the remaining 10 or so elite is roughly identical?</p>

23

<p>Does U of M heavily recruit for grad students on the west coast? I swear it seems like there is a huge over-representation of students from the Bay area (and CA in general) </p>

<p>Outside of the top 2, Harvard and JHU, very little separates the top 10 reputationally. </p>

25

<p>There are 6 business schools and 5 law schools that appear to definitely separate themselves from the pack for sure. Also, you forgot Duke on all these rankings unless their professional schools suddenly vanished from the face of the earth hehe.</p>

<p>Also, is the UChicago peer assessment rating an accidental typo? Pritzker was considered a top 10 medical school last year by USNews.</p>

26

<p>“According to your numbers there is a 0.2 drop between #4 and #7. There is another 0.2 drop between #7 and #10. Likewise, there is another 0.2 drop from #10 to #16. So, how is it that you say the rating of the remaining 10 or so elite is roughly identical?”</p>

<p>UCB, there is a 1.5 drop from #6 to #7, and a 0.5 drop at most from one program to the next after that. So there is a clear separation between #6 and the remaining elite programs. Obviously, if you compare #8 to #18, you will see a significant difference, but the difference between #11 and #7 or between #11 and #16 is insignificant. </p>

27

<p>Interesting rankings…and responses. :-)</p>

28

<p>

I think you meant to say a 0.05 drop, but that’s wrong. There is 0.1 drop from #8 and #9 - the same drop as #1 to #4.</p>

29

<p>I guess it depends on your perspective UCB. I personally believe that the MBA programs with an overall reputational average score over 4.5 have a slight edge over those with average reputational scores ranging from 4.0-4.4. Harvard, Stanford and Wharton are the obvious top 3, but I think a strong case can be made for Booth. Kellogg and Sloan. The remaining 10 or so MBA’s I think are interchangeable. </p>
