In all of our previous rankings, Stanford was a close second to HBS so it didn’t have to move very far. Both U.S. News and Forbes have the school No. 1 in their latest surveys. The Financial Times puts the school second, behind only Harvard Business School. Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s ranking, which largely measures graduate satisfaction and recruiter sentiment, ranked Stanford fourth in 2014 when it made major changes to its methodology that helped to sink HBS to eighth place. The Economist, meantime, ranks Stanford as seventh best among U.S. schools on its global MBA list. One Class of 2014 grad summed up his Stanford experience to BW this way: “The people are high caliber but also genuinely nice, very open and accepting, the size of the class, the closeness (spiritually and physically) to Silicon Valley and the tech industry, and the leadership learning opportunities. Other things that stood out are the GSB facilities and the opportunities within the university–outside the business school.” B-School Smack Down Reports: Harvard Business School vs. Stanford Graduate School of Business Berkeley’s Haas School vs. Stanford Graduate School of Business Dartmouth’s Tuck School vs. Stanford Graduate School of Business Interview with Admissions Director The Gatekeeper to Stanford’s Graduate School of Business How To Apply to Stanford and What Happens To Your Application After It’s Submitted Student Perspectives: From a Dot-Com Bust to a Stanford MBA 2014-2015 Tuition: $61,875 School Recommended Two-Year Budget: $202,870 Average GMAT: 732 GMAT Range: 550-790 Average GPA: NA Acceptance Rate: 6.5% Full-Time Enrollment: 809 International: 44% Female: 42% Minority: 23% Average Years of Work Experience: 4 Median Base Salary: $125,000 Median Signing Bonus: $25,000 Median Other Guaranteed Bonus: $31,500 Median Total Compensation: $181,500 Percentage of MBAs with Job Offers at Graduation: 80% Percentage of MBAs with Job Offers Three Months Later: 94% Previous Page Continue ReadingPage 2 of 3 1 2 3
