• That is where the beauty of a one year program comes to scene. :)

  • John, it would be interesting to see a ranking based on “happiness” or some sort of “goals achieved” that has nothing to do with cash. I don’t know if there is such a study, is there? I wonder how different it would be from this.

  • I’d rather look at the data in a slightly different way. It tells me how many people I will be competing against when applying to a specific school. If I were to apply to Stanford, I will be competing with 11 applicants for a spot (according to your numbers above). But that’s the only thing [...]

  • Matt, that is an excellent analysis that displays a lot of information about the students that apply to Northwestern and their GMAT scores.

    I also agree with John’s admiration about the schools that disclose their full range of scores. Speaking for myself, transparency gives a lot of confidence about the school’s data.

  • That is an interesting fact. I wonder if the data regarding the GMAT of the whole applicant pool is normally distributed for all schools. Let’s say you have the following for this case: 2000 (21%) people with 600 5000 (52%) people with 710 2524 (27%) people with 780 Average: 705 Nothing against HBS. I truly [...]

  • These are some interesting numbers, John. It would be great to understand the quality of the applicants that are rejected, because I am sure that quite a lot of people that want to go to business school in the U.S. take a shot at Harvard and Stanford even though they may not have the required [...]

  • I walked out of the MBA fair way too confused. It was similar to the feeling you get when you are trying to pick a bottle of wine for the first time. There are hundreds of options on the shelves and they all seem so alike that you don’t know where to start. The good [...]

  • I agree without a doubt that the US is the world leader in management and business education when we measure it by the number of schools and their quality. But when measured by salary figures, you may get some bias in the data due to local market conditions. Supply and demand of jobs is very [...]

  • I was born in the northern city of Monterrey, the third largest city in Mexico and a major industrial center in Latin America. After graduating in 2004 with a B.A. in architecture, I joined the “Consultant in Development” program at CEMEX, a building solutions multinational. Along with a team of young graduates, I traveled extensively throughout [...]
