I don't prefer FT. Some screwed up ranking. Jones in this list is an odd man out. So, is MIT. MIT is a gud consulting school. period.
The top 5 schools with the exception of Simon i can understand. Any given day H/S will give you a better finance job than any of the others with the exceptions of Wharton/Chicago/Columbia.

The best schools in any discipline will be the ones that show discipline across different ranking hawk machines such as BW, FT, USA News, etc.

Don't go by this alone to make your decision. You can suffer. Nobody is going to buy that list. No body.

Offtopic but couldnt resist. How is MIT the odd man out may I ask? If you have heard of Myron Scholes, Fischer Black (black-scholes pricing option models ring a bell?), or Robert Merton - nobel laureates from MIT. Its a small department at MIT when compared with those at Chicago/Columbia/Wharton but no pushover.

MIT does not belong to top 10 in the world in Finance. That is what my point is I can name many people from other schools as well that are not regarded as Finance schools. Jones is way behind so i am not even talking about Jones.

The FT rankings seem to be in congruence with other polls and rankings. Moreover, Rice is a very highly rated university. The facilities are excellent esp for a school that is so young.
