Then, a lot of T10/T15 schools have 10x the international recognition than Dartmouth does (Yale, Berkeley, UCLA, NYU and Duke) therefore in reality Tuck falls from top 8 to top 14. The M7 is the first thing you learn when Googling up about MBAs, therefore those will be first. And, as most people don't do that detailed research, then they will tend to dream about other schools that simply ring a bell. You guys frequently shit on Columbia, but what this metric shows is that in the real world Columbia beats all of the schools we attend or will attend in terms of interest, other than Harvard, Stanford and Wharton.Īnd I've said this before -and a lot of you don't get it-, but international candidates switching careers have simply never heard of Tuck and Dartmouth before thoroughly researching about MBA programs. Or for example, as supported by the research done by professor Moist Man here, in the case of the US schools what happens is that international candidates dream of programs with an international branding. That's how in the real world a school falls from the top 3 spot to a top 7 spot (IESE), which is quite the difference considering that people here usually only recommend the very best three to five schools in Europe/Asia. Sounds very obvious when it's put this way, right. In the real world more people dream about attending Oxford than attending the University of Navarra (IESE). In the end what this whole thing shows is what gringos here can't seem to grasp: brands do matter in the real world, and the majority of candidates will make decisions that way, given that the majority don't gossip on Reddit and GMAT Club. Looks consistent with the programs' general international reputation.ġ) Harvard University - Harvard Business SchoolĢ) Stanford University - Stanford Graduate School of Businessģ) University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton SchoolĤ) Columbia University - Columbia Business Schoolĥ) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - MIT Sloan School of ManagementĦ) Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Managementħ) University of Chicago - Booth School of Businessġ0) Yale University - Yale School of Managementġ1) University of California - Berkeley - Haas School of Businessġ2) New York University - Leonard N.
