booth stays number one

Today BusinessWeek released its rankings for the top business schools in the United States. These results usually come out earlier, but were postponed because of the election.

Once again the University of Chicago, now the Booth School of Business, holds the top slot. The remaining top ten (in order) are Harvard, Kellogg, Wharton, Ross, Stanford, Columbia, Duke, Sloan and Haas. The full report can be found here.

With the economy in its current state, schools expect that MBA applications will be higher than normal. Already there is an increase in the number of people taking the GMAT. Business School is not a bad place to ride out a dismal economy. When the economy is booming, there is usually a slump in MBA applications. Go figure.

If you are applying to the University of Chicago, here's a tip - don't call the school the BSB. Call it University of Chicago, Booth School of Business or even just Booth.
