根据TheMBAtour.com最近刊登出的一篇文章，我十分同意文章中所说的，现在有许多不同关于MBA商学院的排名系统，但是BusinessWeek和US News & World Report这两个被人们广泛的认可和接受。文章中说，决定进入某所MBA商学院不仅仅是因为它的排名。事实上，进入MBA商学院学习是为了增长知识扩大交际网，最重要的是它会帮助实现你的近期和长远的目标（希望你已经制定了人生目标！）。在美国，20所顶尖商学院都提供同等水平优秀的MBA教育课程。然而，有三所MBA商学院的课程学习比起其它的商学院更加紧张辛苦，他们是：MIT Sloan, Carnegie Mellon Tepper, and University of Virginia Darden. 无论你进入的是哪家MBA的商学院，你都会接受到良好的教育，而且有很多机会的大门会为你打开，而且大多数的机会是你从未遇到过的。

From The MBA Tour May 2007 - Rankings

Of course, you've heard it before, “Don't use the rankings to choose an MBA program.” But nearly everyone looks at the rankings. The MBA Tour would like to suggest a strategy for how to use the rankings intelligently when you are deciding where to apply.

·If you are going to consider rankings, look at all of them. Different rankings use different measures so comparing all the results will give you a broader perspective.

·Learn what criteria each of the rankings uses to better understand why one school is ranked higher than another. Each ranking has a unique bias.

MBA Aspirants are always keen to know where schools are ranked. In recent years there has been an explosion in the number of rankings of business schools and MBA programs. These rankings need to be interpreted with care as they tend to reflect the preconceptions of the compilers and are based on the premise that all MBAs should be the same.
