US News might be useful to get the stats for any B-school, university in USA but surely it isn't smart to think school ZXY is better than ABC because it ranks higher in US News. Please look at stats, talk to alumni, people in corporate sector, academic sector to have a perception about any school. Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Kellogs and many others are some of the best but surely they can't be ranked. Moreover, I would just like to inform you all that New York times had exposed US News of deliberately manipulating the rankings to lower, degrade the reputation of REED COLLEGE (one of the finest Arts college in the world, more popular because Steve Jobs dropped out of this college) because the college had refused to officially participate in the ranking process.

U.S. News & World Report will be launching a new and improved
edition of America's Best Graduate Schools on Friday, March 28.

This is as per folks in BW forums. Also a pre take on the rankings is as below :

1) Wharton
2) Stanford
3) Harvard
4) Kellogg
5) Haas
6) Sloan
7) Chicago
8 ) Tuck
9) Ross
10) Columbia
11) Fuqua
12) Darden
13) Anderson
14) Stern
15) Marshall
16) McCombs
17) Johnson
10) Tepper
19) Kenan-Flagler
20) Yale

Any views on the rankings ?

are there any forum or advisable rankings for bschools outside US?

only top 10 specialities are given for free..

Biggest shocker is Purdue, out of top 30. MSU and Maryland Smith and UofW are good schools. Not sure why they dropped so badly.
Is it that they are not performing well or their peers are doing much better??

Yes , that is correct : here is something from the BW site
Biggest Gainers : ( ranks moved up ).
University of California-Los Angeles (Anderson) -5
Indiana University-Bloomington (Kelley) -4
Washington University in St. Louis (Olin) -3
Georgetown University (McDonough) (DC) -2
Stanford University (CA) -1
Northwestern University (Kellogg) (IL) -1
University of Chicago -1
University of California-Berkeley (Haas) -1
Yale University (CT) -1
Biggest Losers : ( ranks moved down )
Ohio State University (Fisher) 5
Emory University (Goizueta) (GA) 4
Georgia Institute of Technology 4
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (Carlson) 3
Duke University (Fuqua) (NC) 2
University of Virginia (Darden) 2
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Ross) 1
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler) 1
Out of top 30 :
Purdue University-West Lafayette (Krannert) (IN)
University of Maryland-College Park (Smith)
Michigan State University (Broad)
University of Washington

Not many surprises in the TOP 20, but 20-30 lot of changes from previous years rankings. ASU has jumped many spots to 22.

Its nearly time for the new USNews rankings to come out - expected date 29 March.

Well their methodology remains the same , but as the schools GMAT avg increases so would thier ranks. Due to lots of high GMAT score people have started applying to the colleges from 15-25 this should lead to lots of shuffle in those ranks. The top 15 may remain more or less the same.

I've noticed that the US News rankings don't change drastically from year to year - especially the top 20 part. If they've decided to improve/change their methodology, then there could be more movement than usual.

I agree , I expect yale to one of the colleges to break into the top 10 this year. And marshel will be in the top 20 but not a big leap as shown above. Rest will remain the same , as for the top I think H/S/W will continue their shuffle in the top 3 places , no toher schools can even come close to them.

It is highly unlikely that yale would at 20 and marshall at 15!

I agree , but which college you think will actually rise in the rankings the most this year ?
Also, what about McCombs rankings ?

Hmmm, I think that poster is just stirring the pot! I'd just wait until the 27th or 28th for the official release...

Well someone mentioned there they got this from their uncle who workd for USnews...

Unless US News has officially released these as a sneak preview, I wouldn't put too much stock in these rankings. Probably someone just speculating on the BW forums.
