Business Week Top 25 Business School Ranking

Just recently, Business week came out with their Business School Rankings and I thought I would share, although I don't agree with it.  Here are the top 25 schools:

1.  Chicago Booth - remained same
2.  HBS - remained same
3.  Wharton - moved up 1 spot
4.  Kellogg - dropped 1 spot
5.  Stanford - moved up 1 spot
6.  Fuqua - moved up 2 spots
7.  Ross - dropped 2 spots
8.  Haas - moved up 2 spots
9.  Columbia - dropped 2 spots
10.  MIT - dropped 1 spot
11. Darden - moved up 5 spots
12. Southern Methodist University - moved up 6 spots
13. Cornell Johnson - dropped 2 spots
14. Tuck - dropped 2 spots
15. Tepper - moved up 4 spots
16. Kenan-Flagler - moved up 1 spot
17. Anderson - dropped 3 spots
18. Stern - dropped 5 spots
19. Kelley - dropped 4 spots
20. Michigan State - was 2nd tier
21. Yale SOM - moved up 3 spots
22. Goizueta - moved up 1 spot
23. Georgia Institute of Technology - moved up 6 spots
24. Mendoza - dropped 4 spots
25. McCombs - dropped 4 spots


Largest Gainer(s) = SMU (#12) and GIT (#23)
Largest Loser(s) = NYU Stern (#18)
Surprises = NYU Stern (#18), Fuqua (#6), and SMU (#12)

It's amazing that when we think of the "Trifeca" of schools we think of HBS, Wharton, Stanford - well at least I do... but Chicago has been #1 for two cycles.  Business week publishes this every two years.
