<p>These are all great schools. Keep in mind these rankings are for MBA programs. Many of these schools don’t have undergrad business programs. Keep in mind, too, that an undergrad business degree may not always be the best route to a top MBA program.</p>

3

<p>I really wish Chicago had an undergraduate business program :frowning: Love the school, just can’t apply because they don’t offer the course I want.</p>

4

<p>AudreyH: They do. It’s CCIB: Chicago Careers in Business. Students are required to take courses at Booth to graduate from this program. It’s just not a typical, formal undergraduate business program like, say, Wharton.</p>

5

<p>What? I MUST research that! Thank you phuriku :)</p>

<p>Oh I’m so excited now! :)</p>

6

<p>I suppose Harvard made the list because so many of its grads performed so competently in the financial sector, and they truly believe in free market competition without government bailouts, fraudulent practices, or the buying of politicians.</p>

7

<p>@zap LOL</p>

<p>@bclintonk, if you come out of undergrad b-school, you should NOT go back for an
MBA except for an expanded network. I’m at one of the above listed schools for undergrad and our textbook/prof/course outline is exactly the same as for the MBA class.</p>

8

<p>if this ranking is for MBA, I personally think Duke was ranked too high. It’s number 10 at best, but it’s basically out of the top 10 for most ranking games.</p>

<p>I’d put Haas at #6, bump Sloan to #7, pluck out Tuck from nowhere and place it at #8, Columbia at #9 and Ross at #10. Those the schools that comprise the top 10 for MBA.</p>

<p>rest of the t14:
Yale-SOM, Duke-Fuqua, Cornell-Johnson and UVa-Darden</p>

<p>Next tier:
UCLA-Anderson, CMU-Tepper and Texas-McCombs</p>

9

<p>sorry; I have forgotten NYU-Stern. It should be in the top 15.</p>

10

<p>^^I’d keep Michigan just slightly ahead of Berkeley. ;-)</p>

11

<p>The only thing I would change in this ranking is put Dartmouth at #6 and Duke out of the top 10. :)</p>

12

<p>Actually, after Harvard, Stanford and Wharton, the next spot is up to the individual applying. There isn’t any clear superior business school after those big3 bschools. I were to make my top 5, my list would look something like this: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Sloan, haas. I’m sure other people would not be attracted to sloan and haas just as I am.</p>

<p>^And your point is? Similarly, the undergrad selection rate for lower Ivies+Duke+UChicago range ~14%. HYPSM is ~9%. Berkeley is 22% and UCLA is 21%.</p>

<p>Following whatever you’re trying to prove (quality based on selectivity?), Berkeley doesn’t compare at all to the lower Ivies + UCLA even.</p>

<p>EDIT:The article even indicates location is probably the primary factor for high selectivity, not quality…</p>

<p>MrPrince, YOU ARE RANTING ON A WRONG THREAD. lol</p>

18

<p>^Actually, I’m not. The point was to inform people of Bloomsberg news. You just randomly posted some old rankings based on selectivity without making a point yourself. Technically you are posting on the wrong thread…</p>

19

<p>^ old rankings? If this was an old ranking, then blame the OP for posting this. LOL</p>

<p>Having said that, finish high school first then come back here.</p>

20

<p>Stanford should be ranked above HBS. All the other school looks right.</p>
