Offical US NEWS Bschool Ranking 2010 - ChaseDream

Here is some detailed breakdowns of the ranking....and the specialty top ten rankings.

I think Yale has been quite smart about its admission and marketing strategy. Reading the detailed breakdown, you will see, most of the score increase comes from higher GMAT, UG GPA, lower acceptance rate and a relatively high placement rate 3 months after graduation. Here is how I believe helped Yale.

-Smaller class, which translates to a very low acceptance rate and a higher placement rate that's a bit easier to achieve than larger scale schools (think about a 92% placement rate for a class of 1000 versus a 95% placement rate for a class of 180.)

-Emphasis on higher GMAT scores and undergrad GPA (25% total weighting in the ranking).

If such strategy succeeds, it's ranking on US news would improve quite a bit over the years, which would help its yield and thus its ranking on Business Week.

This means, for us applicants, if we are applying for Yale, a higher GMAT and undergrad GPA can help a lot more than how much the scores helps out other top school applications. Good luck everyone!!!

The next few years will be critical to Yale SOM. If SOM can pass through the pressure test, it may establish itself a top 10 school, otherwise, it will go back to where it starts. Ranking for most schools can be cyclic, as demonstrated by the ranking hisotory of Fuqua at Duke, or that of Ross at Michigan for a similiar reason.

All matters are peers and recruiters accessment. Other parameters are not that hard to manipulate by schools. If you only look at these two factors, it will give you a list consistent with what most people have thought.
