Nice complementary book for the one from BusinessWeek
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
First of all, the school rankings in this book are much different from those found in the other, better-known book from the BusinessWeek. It's so radically different that it places Stanford behind Brigham Young and Wake Forrest. The rationale, according to the book, is that the WSJ is using the recruiters' opinions as the major measurestick, instead of the schools' reputation or average GMAT scores. In a way, it makes sense because what ultimately matters for business schools would be the quality of end-products, namely the quality of graduates after 2 years of study, which would be judged the best by the recruiters. But this book does not have much detailed information about each school. For a given school, the BusinessWeek guide contains description that's approximately three times longer than what's in this book (I own both). However, this book is much more up-to-date. The BW guide was published in sometime around 2000 and it's pathetically behind the times (it's talking about dot.com things). So, I recommend buying the BW guide first, and then using this book as a complementary material, which would be essential at least until BW comes up with a new, up-to-date version.
