Forbes 2011 Ranking of Global B-Schools by: John A. Byrne on August 05, 2011 | | 24,473 Views August 5, 2011 Copy Link Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Share on LinkedIn Share on WhatsApp Share on Reddit One of the more surprising data points in the survey is the relatively low pre-MBA salaries of incoming students into these international programs. Along with GMAT and GPA scores, pre-MBA pay is often considered an indicator of student quality. Even accounting for differences in income levels in some countries, these numbers were quite low. At the National University of Singapore, the median pre-MBA salary for the class was a mere $14,000, while the equivalent number for China’s best known business school, CEIBS, was just $20,000. 2011 Forbes Ranking of Non-U.S. One-Year MBA Programs Rank & School 2009 Rank 2007 Rank Pre-MBA Salary 2010 Salary Yrs to Breakeven 1.
