MBA Tier List (Business Schools Ranked)

[@CW95981]

As a Dartmouth alum this guy is not qualified to be doing this 😂 regards

[@ConstructiveCriticismAdvisory]

You didn’t go to Tuck

[@putt7515]

Title correction: Guy ranks MBA based on how well he knows them

[@bayareabuzz6130]

I agree with Booth initiating the S list. And Stanford following up, makes sense as well. And while I think H is an S-lister, (if we stick to the methodology you outlined) it is understandable that it is an A for this one because of the methodology and the way it is ranked by US News. Same sentiment with Wharton. All rankings are flawed but there may be some grain of truth to them that is actionable for W and H...

[@thythw9246]

Bro nobody believes Harvard is number 5

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

Why not?

[@deansakata8619]

Historical rankings are more important for MBAs as you are leveraging networks in business and career outcomes. year to year rankings matter much less. Those plugged into MBAs would say 1) HSW (undisputed heavyweights) 2) Booth, Kellogg, CBS, Sloan (M7) 3) Haas, Tuck, Darden (T10) 4) etc

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

Very good points!

[@prateeksarin3555]

Where is Yale?

[@JJanardhan11]

​@@prateeksarin3555here 5) Yale

[@brysoncummings169]

I would call the tiers 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, etc. because let’s be honest they’re all A tier schools 😂

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

That's a fair point haha.

[@jacobtweedell]

As someone who loves the university of texas (as well as hoping to get my future MBA there), I'm glad to see them make this list!

[@vict209130]

33% of the public company CEO are from Stanford GSB, Harvard Business School, and Penn Wharton. A lot of their graduates also became successful entrepreneurs. It shows you how distinct these three programs are. Unfortunately, the quantitative ranking that are being referenced in this video took different factors into consideration to deviate from the norms (outcome and reward). If a candidate got admitted by Booth and Harvard Business School and chose the former program, even because of a big merit based scholarship, that candidate is not making a good decision, which is essential from getting an MBA.

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

Agree with your last point. Do you have a link to that 33% stat?

Do a MSc Finance or MBA Finance for Europe or UK

[@Ari-lu5ve]

Not to be disrespectful, but universities in Europe lag far behind US Universities. I don't think they are even worthy of being talked about. And im saying this as someone who isn't really american

Can you make a top 20 list for masters in finance?

[@Reptar4000]

Where is his MBA from??????

[@peterakpan3773]

Great and enlightening video, AJ. Definitely wanna see more of stuff like this. Maybe, you could consider Best MBA programs globally (and not just restricted to the US) Or... Best global schools for an MSc program in Finance

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

Seeing a few requests for top 20 masters in finance. I will work on this!

where is wgu?? underneath the list?

[@MrTheodoreG]

I wonder how many commenters, as well as the author have an MBA from any of those schools 😂

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

I do not, haha. But we can base opinions on reading from those who have.

[@Superposition12]

if i have a lower GPA around 3.0-3.2 can i get in to any of these. I have about 5 years of work experience. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best schools for someone like me?

[@thedailyruns6046]

So tbis guy just yaps? Does he even have an MBA?

Is AJ joining Meldrum or he is now bespoke candidate of top 20 b-school ?

Where does Cornell rank

Really liking the background 😂 sometimes you film at an ugly area but we do what we can with what we have right 😁

Thanks! Yes, gotta work with what we have haha.

[@odee9007]

quite agree with this list

[@majidareef3555]

Are you planned to do MBA? Is CFA better than C&D tier MBA program?

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

No, I'm not going to do an MBA. And that is a good question. Top 10 MBA is definitely more valuable on a resume than the CFA. But top 20 MBA is a closer call. I think the top 20 MBA still wins.

[@liberoAquila]

What about University of Phoenix?

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

Top tier!!!!

[@Jeff-312]

University of Chicago and the arts? lol okay. I left as soon as I heard that.

[@aunnieboy]

What about AIB

[@abhishekbal399]

In all fairness any MBA comes with 50 % halo 25% networking (in Indian context read placement) and 25 % academics. Highly overrated

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

Yea i sort of agree with this sentiment.

[@randymagallon668]

Booth does not belong to S. It does not have the prestige of the top . Please!

Their alumni network would disagree!

Probably, but I never went so I can't say for sure.

[@scholarlyanalyst7700]

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 The one that is really harder depends on the person (true answer!). Believe-it-or-not, some people possess a higher aptitude for math than for statistics (and vice versa). So, some actually find statistics to be harder (certainly at that advanced level!). That being said, I think more people find the math to be harder.

[@aperkins07]

most T15 schools don't allow for online options that's one of the reasons why (maybe hybrid with executive options). Plus, online rankings don't really mean anything these days as it's based on some arbitrary metrics. Main thing is to connect with previous alumni, get their feedback on the program to see if it fits with your expectations or raises any red flags
