Harvard isn’t in the top 5? Ya - right… MBA isn’t about the education, it’s about the connections and prestige.

Well, it depends on what methodology they use, right? If I were doing this ranking, the methodology would be: 1. Career placement 2. Everything else US News includes peer review, graduation rates, alumni giving, and other stuff that adds up to produce these rankings. But really, if I am about to shell out $150k plus opportunity cost, I want to be sure that my future job is going to pay off. For that reason, it’s hard to justify putting, for instance, UCLA ahead of Harvard. Not that I have anything against UCLA - it’s just a random example. Plus, everyone knows Stanford is the best school. Also, Stanford is not in Palo Alto - it is in Stanford, CA. Come to think of it, Harvard is in Cambridge, not Boston like that list says. Ok, this list is bullsh*t. Who the hell proof reads this thing?
What are your guys thoughts on international MBA programs, such as INSEAD in Paris and IE in Spain? What level of US school would they be comparable to in terms of quality and career placement for finance in the US?

It’s just Finance departments ranking. What does career placement has to do with it? They should just consider the number and quality of professors, as well as research and technology of finance departments. Seems fair to me.
As long as we all up millionaires (inflation adjusted of course), what’s the problem here?
Loyola and Fordham in front of Yale and Cornell? That cannot be right. Also, where is UNC - KF on the list?

UNC - KF is a great school for finance (inv mgmt). I don’t see how others school can be on that list.

At Wake 2000: I agree with that order. I don’t see Darden on that list.

mar350: Why do you rank MIT so high? They only send 22% of their class into finance, versus nearly half for schools like Booth, Columbia, and Stern. Doesn’t seem like a school that sends barely a fifth of its students into finance can be considered a top 5 finance school.
