MBA program rankings: for the people, by the people!

RankingsWire is a feed of crowd-sourced rankings of business schools – based on each poster’s unique priorities, goals, and preferences. See how applicants and MBA insiders (like students and alumni) rank the programs, and filter by ranking criteria to see submissions from posters who share your preferences.

And, once you’re ready, submit your own ranking so others can benefit from your research!

Admitted @ GSB, Kellogg, Yale, Darden
WL @ Sloan and Booth
Dinged @ HBS

Non-finance background/ future goals. Excited about programs with innovative curriculum and culture (ex., GSB, Kellogg MMM vs HBS, Wharton) but was very 'brand' conscious as an international student.
