US Business Schools Rankings

Anyone aspiring to do MBA in US invariably scours various publications publishing B-school rankings. As someone who went through the same motion, I share the common belief that Business Week and US News are the two most, dare say only reliable sources.

I have tried to compile the historical rankings of various schools across years since 1988. I have a detailed spreadsheet, however ignorant of how to attach it here, I am publishing the summary.

Here is the summary:

Top 25 as per US News from 1990 - 2009
Schools and respective average rankings over the years.

1. Stanford - 1.47
2. Harvard - 1.79
3. Wharton - 2.95
4. MIT - Sloan - 4.05
5. Kellogg - 4.26
6. Chicago - Booth - 6.42
7. Columbia - 7.89
8. Dartmouth - Tuck - 8.58
9. Duke - Fuqua - 9.16

10. U. Michigan - Ross - 9.95
11. UC Berkeley - Haas - 10.11
12. U. Virginia - Darden - 11.68
13. UCLA - Anderson - 12.79
14. NYU - Stern - 14.21
15. Yale - 14.75
16. Cornell - Johnson - 15.05
17. CMU - Tepper - 15.35

24. Ohio State U - Fisher - 24.71
25. U Rochester - Simon -
25.41

Based on US News and BW rankings, I compiled a cumulative ranking. As US News is considered more relevant in US, I gave USN twice weightage as BW.

  1. Hi,

    This is great - if possible, would I be able to get a copy of the spreadsheet you used? I understand you couldn't post it here, but if you could email it to me I would really appreciate it!

    I've been looking for exactly this data for some time so it would be a great help to me.

    Thanks!
