MBA program rankings: for the people, by the people!

RankingsWire is a feed of crowd-sourced rankings of business schools – based on each poster’s unique priorities, goals, and preferences. See how applicants and MBA insiders (like students and alumni) rank the programs, and filter by ranking criteria to see submissions from posters who share your preferences.

And, once you’re ready, submit your own ranking so others can benefit from your research!

Notes:

Tuck was #1 on the 3 lists I made between 2019 and 2024 because I was drawn to its general management focus. I largely picked schools that would (1) maximize my entry into a form of applied general management, like brand management/LDP/consulting, for a retail-focused company on my path to becoming a GM, and (2) allow me to land a non-tech role in San Francisco as someone with a tech sales background.
