Just found out these two posts at Business week forum, and i thought they give us a good idear who are real top ten schools in the US.

Ok, I "checked the facts" for you, here they are.  If we average all the rankings available (w/ the new WSJ), Michigan is #10.  If we average BW, USN and FT only, Michigan is #14.  In the 6 rankings out there (BW, Economist, FT, Forbes, USN, WSJ), Michigan's rankings are #8, #8, #20, #20, #10, and #1, respectively).  See below for the top 10 using the 2 different averages.  All I'm doing is presenting the current rankings data - if this pisses you off for some reason, you might want to ask yourself why. Average of all Rankings: 1. Wharton 2. Harvard 3. Chicago 4. Stanford 5. Columbia 6. Kellogg 7. Tuck 8. Sloan 9. Yale 10. Michigan Average of BW, FT and USN: 1. Harvard 2. Wharton 3. Stanford 4. Chicago 5. Kellogg 6. Columbia 7. Sloan 8. Tuck 9. Duke 10. NYU

Harvard 2. Stanford 3. Kellogg 4. Chicago 5. Wharton 6. MIT 7. Columbia 8. Michigan 9. Tuck 10. Duke BW, U.S.News and WSJ: 1. Wharton 2. Chicago 2. Kellogg 4. Stanford 5. Harvard 6. Michigan 6. MIT 8. Columbia 9. Tuck 10. Duke They are all the same schools either way in the top ten.  (And yes, I think most everyone in the U.S. at least consider Michigan and Tuck to be solid top 10 schools).
