I’m your host, Kristy Bleizeffer, and I’ll be highlighting the most important P&Q stories you might have missed. So, let’s get to it. No. 1: Northwestern Kellogg Tops P&Q’s 2022-2023 Executive MBA Ranking Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University has returned to a familiar place in Poets&Quants’ 2022 composite ranking of the best EMBA programs in the United States: The very top. Kellogg shot up to No. 1 after finishing 13th in P&Q‘s composite ranking of 2021 — a year in which several top schools fell sharply after choosing not to participate in one or more of the premier rankings. Rounding out the top five were Columbia Business School, the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, New York University’s Stern School of Business, and Yale School of Management. Get the full 2022 list and insights into the latest EMBA trends, at our sister site, Poets&Quants For Execs. No. 2: Meet The Indian Institute Of Management Ahmedabad MBA Class Of 2023 We continue our popular Class Of series this week with the MBA Class of 2023 from the Indian Institute Of Management Ahmedabad. In it, we feature 11 inspiring MBAs from the school, including tech startup founders, business journalists, and a Scientific Officer for India’s Department of Atomic Energy. Read more about these inspiring change makers now, on our homepage. No. 3: Stanford Jobs & Wharton’s class profile This past week, we got some illuminating data from two of the top business schools in the world. Stanford Graduate School of Business released its jobs report for the class of 2021, and MBA outcomes bounced back somewhat after a couple of tumultuous years. Employment within three months of graduation reached 91% for last year’s grads, while average salary reached an all time high of $231,849. You can read the full report now on our homepage. Meanwhile, the Wharton School released its 2024 incoming MBA class profile, showing a double-digit drop in applications, but reaching gender parity for the second straight year. Wharton’s 13.9% drop in apps this cycle could portend similar declines at other top schools this season, and we discuss why in the full story, which you can find in our news tab. No. 4: Our Weekly Round Up of News You Can Use No matter where you are in your B-school journey, we bring several helpful stories for you this week. First up: We take a look at what MBA admissions looks for in work experience, and reveal what those MBA employment reports won’t tell you. Next: The 2022-2023 recruiting carousel is kicking into gear. And after two years of COVID driving recruiting online, you’ll find a lot more in-person options. To help, we’ve compiled the upcoming MBA admission events from the top programs into one handy list. You can find it in our admissions tab. Finally, on the P&Q YouTube channel, we have specific and insightful advice on financing your MBA from our friends at Juno, a collective bargaining platform for finding the lowest-cost loans for your degree. You can also read more advice from Juno in our Financing tab. And, that’s it for this week’s Must Reads recap. I also want to alert all the school seekers out there to CentreCourt’s upcoming MBA Festival events. Our next series, The MBA & Your Career, is happening October 4-5, and you can register for free on our events tab. Again, I’m Kristy Bleizeffer, and you can join me next week, right here, for a recap of what’s important in the world of business education. Thanks for listening and, as always, stay informed!
