It should be the ranking for 04,right?

baobaobear

I find it's different from the 04 ranking after checking.  UMBS has two steps up in this ranking.

robertchu

It's 05 ranking.

IMO, the US News ranking tends to be more stable and more reflective of the general perception.

Disclaimer: I’m not claiming that this ranking is a better ranking.  I’m simply saying that this ranking makes a little more sense to me.  It’s perfectly possible that I could be wrong.  I certainly do not want to ignite another heated ranking debate :-)

Here is the ranking methodology:

All 377 master's programs in business accredited by AACSB International were surveyed (293 responded, of which 185 provided the data needed to calculate rankings based on a weighted average of the eight quality indicators described below). All 377 schools appear in the directory.

Quality assessment (weighted by .40): Two surveys were conducted in the fall of 2004. Business school deans and directors of accredited programs were asked to rate programs on a scale from "marginal" (1) to "outstanding" (5); 56 percent responded, and the resulting scores are weighted by .25 in the ranking model. Corporate recruiters and company contacts who hire from previously ranked programs were also asked to rate programs; 32 percent responded, and their ratings are weighted by .15 in the ranking model.

Placement success (.35): This is measured by mean starting salary and bonus (40 percent) and employment rates for full-time M.B.A. program 2004 graduates, computed at graduation (20 percent) and three months later (40 percent). Those not seeking jobs are excluded. Salary figures are based on the number of graduates reporting data. Since not everyone who reported a base salary reported a signing bonus, the mean signing bonus is weighted by the proportion who reported a bonus.

Student selectivity (.25): The strength of full-time students entering in the fall of 2004 was measured by mean GMAT (65 percent), mean undergraduate GPA (30 percent), and the proportion of applicants accepted by the school (5 percent).

Overall rank: Data were standardized about their means, and standardized scores were weighted, totaled, and rescaled so that the top school received 100; others received their percentage of the top score.

Specialty rankings: These rankings are based solely on ratings by educators at peer schools. Business school deans and program heads were asked to nominate up to 10 programs for excellence in each of the areas listed. The 10 schools receiving the most votes appear here.

It is 05 ranking, but came out this april, so to speaking it is the most outdated ranking compared with business week, wall street journey and economist.
