If you’re in the midst of your GMAT prep, and thinking about business school, you’ve probably come across dozens of b-school rankings in your research. US News, Financial Times, BusinessWeek, Wall Street Journal… the list goes on. Your dream school might be ranked #1 by one, but #17 by another. If you’re looking for the real deal, and aren’t sure which rankings—if any—to trust, you’re not alone.
In this video, Jose Ferreira, founder and CEO of Knewton (and Harvard Business School grad) discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the most sought-after rankings, and breaks down which rankings will be most helpful to which candidates. In the end, he notes, the most accurate judges of business school rankings are business school students themselves.
Curious about where in the world you should attend business school? Your post-MBA program network is everything. Jose tackles the issue of U.S. vs. international MBA programs and talks about the regional differences between top schools.
Finally, Jose reveals some fascinating data about the correlation between GMAT scores and first-year post-MBA starting salaries (let’s put it this way: a killer GMAT score is like a gift that keeps on giving).
