Rankings are a valuable resource for comparing and contrasting institutions. Most prospective students take rankings into account when deciding which schools to apply to, and schools therefore go to great lengths to improve their positions.
Rankings are seen as a shortcut for employers to finding good people, and have significant influence on business school curricula.
But rankings have come under heavy fire lately. Several critical reports say rankings over-emphasize graduate salaries, penalizing schools whose graduates work for non-profits or startups. Many schools want to see more emphasis placed on sustainability teaching.
While rankings are a useful way to benchmark schools and narrow down a shortlist, they should not be the only determinant of school choice.
