The top 5 MBA programs are all in the US and LBS isn't even the top B school in Europe. That honor goes to INSEAD.

<p>Agree 100% on all of the above. Oxford has a loooong way to go to be taken seriously in the MBA dep - I believe its not even 10 years young. LBS is a two year program (in which case you're better off going to a US school IMO) and is < INSEAD / IMD.</p>
<p>Also, INSEAD is a 1 year progrom (albeit a grueling one for sure) but it is widely recognized as Europe's best and one of the best international MBA programs (plus it has an alliance with Wharton where INSEAD-Wharton MBAs can take classes at one another's campuses).</p>
<p>My friend said INSEAD was easy and a lot of stuff were just intuitive (or common sense) but then this is from a guy who got over 2300 on GRE (he applied to grad school while at Northwestern but decided to go to the workforce upon graduation) and over 750 on the verbal portion even he's not a native speaker.</p>
<p>This isn't even the first time that Ivy Grad and Alexandre have argued about Michigan. (LoL) Come on, we're just splitting hairs (like someone mentioned earlier).</p>
<p>If anyone's interesteed: Average Law/Med/Bus rankings from USNews</p>
<p>Actually, I think UCLA is tied with Northwestern there at an average of 12.00 (somehow I left UCLA out by accident). I also forgot Duke (9.33) in that list. I only looked for schools that had all three programs within the top 20, and other than UCLA and Duke there are not many other schools with that criteria, I think. The numbers in parentheses are the specific rankings for law, med, and bus, respectively. </p>
<p>Of course, the ranking is pretty trivial - for example, berkeley has excellent business and law schools, but doesn't have a med school.</p>
<p>I agree with Aurelius that this is a pretty trivial categorization. MIT doesn't have a medical school or a law school, but I doubt that anybody would seriously deny that MIT is a darn fine school.</p>
