WSJ has not update its education webpage. So this info is cut from the latest news. I will post the detail after they publish it on web.

不会吧 俺已准备申请MICHIGAN 排名这样高会不会加大申请难度

是啊，竟然是第一了。是因为Ross的breathtaking gift吗？

申请起来会不会太难，而且为什么不同的排名榜差距那么大尼？

WSJ排名向来哗众取宠，没有太多人当真。哈佛商学院和斯坦福都在10名外，就这一点实在是可笑。

WSJ的排名主要看Recruiter's survey. 哈佛商学院和斯坦福得学生是很牛，但是很拽，所以有的招聘者不太喜欢。 但是除了这几所之外，招聘者的意见还是很重要的。

我建议在发表主观评论之前了解一下WSJ的排名标准。他主要是在从雇主的角度做的调查，并没有太多涉及到其它方面。我不认为以WSJ在美国的分量，他会做一份哗众取宠的东西。

"The WSJ ranks MBA graduates and the school as seen through the eyes of recruiters. Recruiters rank students on attributes such as leadership potential, ability to work in teams and analytical and problem-solving skills.  They also rank the school on a variety of dimensions including quality of faculty, core curriculum, career services and our ability to meet their overall recruiting needs."

I certainly know their ranking methodologies.

The fact that a lot of high-calibre HBS and Stanford graduates choose not to work but instead to start up their own firms, pre-determines that assess a business school majorly on the recruiters' feedbacks, is fundamentally flawed. In this case, I think it's more appropriate to rename the ranking as "top recruiter feedback positive business schools in ..."

At least as far as I know, most of the bschool students and administrations and faculty simply snub away the WSJ ranking. Even those tops school on the WSJ's list don't want them to be mentioned of that.

As for the Wall Street Journal, I admit it's truly a VERY good news paper and I read it every day in school. Yet it's dangerous to believe anything on the basis of the so called "credity". Think about the fake news scandal of NY times. I think common sense and your own analysis is more reliable at many times.

Thinkpador 和JW2004说得不错。。。

另外，人们心目中好学校就那几个，除了个别属于路人皆知的超级牛校外，Top10的不论排名怎么变都不大会影响人们的普遍看法，口碑会比每年变化的排名重要，就像在中国一样呀。
