But how do the changes in these yearly rankings affect an MBA aspirant? To answer this and more questions, Prashant Tibrewal and his team of consultants at Admit Square which is comprised of alumni from top schools such as Wharton, Yale, Duke, and Oxford have analyzed the new ranking list. However, before we get there, let\u2019s understand how the US News Ranking works.<\/p>\n<h2>U.S. News Business School MBA Ranking Methodology<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-20228 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/U.S.-News-MBA-Rankings-Methodology-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. News MBA Rankings Methodology\" width=\"682\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/U.S.-News-MBA-Rankings-Methodology-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/U.S.-News-MBA-Rankings-Methodology-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/U.S.-News-MBA-Rankings-Methodology-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/U.S.-News-MBA-Rankings-Methodology-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/U.S.-News-MBA-Rankings-Methodology.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each Ranking system has a defined methodology and uses parameters that are considered salient in assessing business school standards. The following are the parameters that the US News takes into consideration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>40% weightage to Peer and Recruiter Assessment:<\/strong> Business school Deans and Directors are asked to rate peer schools, and a select set of Recruiters are asked to rate all participating schools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>35% weightage to Placement Success:<\/strong> The Employment Rate, the mean Starting Salary and Joining Bonus received by students who graduated in 2018, are used to calculate placement success.<\/li>\n<li><strong>25% weightage to Admissions Competitiveness and Class Profile:<\/strong> About 16% weightage is given to the average GMAT\/GRE scores of students entering in Fall 2018. <em>For the first time ever, AWA scores have been used as part of the ranking methodology, a move, which may very well induce schools to focus on increasing their average AWA scores for the incoming classes, in the coming years. <\/em>Similarly, the average GPA and the percentage of applicants accepted to the program are weighed in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The following table presents a glimpse of how the top 15 schools moved, across the ranking scale, compared to last year:<\/p>\n<div class='one_half'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<table width=\"315\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"123\"><strong>University\/School <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"64\"><strong>2020 <\/strong><\/td>\n<td

For you, this translates to excellent news, as schools put their best foot forward to provide students the best opportunities, infrastructure and learning inputs. It also makes sense to look at schools from a category perspective \u2013 the A+ schools now include MIT Sloan and Booth, in addition to the haloed H\/S\/W.

Case in point \u2013 Tuck, located in Hanover, has slipped out of the top 10 this year, whereas all the top 5 schools are located in more prime geographic locations. Wharton is about an hour away from New York, Stanford is in the neighborhood of Silicon Valley and HBS, Sloan and Booth are located in major metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons for the geographical advantage could be manifold \u2013 work-related networking opportunities, social conveniences, or even the reluctance of significant others to move to remote areas.

The highest GMAT average though isn\u2019t being claimed by Harvard, Stanford, Wharton or MIT The only exception to the rising trend in GMAT averages is, surprisingly, Stanford that saw a 5-point reduction in the average GMAT (from 737 to 732). It is widely assumed and agreed, by several industry experts that a 5-point drop happens more by design than by chance. This could, therefore, be a deliberate attempt to maintain a more realistic average that doesn\u2019t intimidate candidates with strong profiles but not-so-stellar GMAT performances.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/what-is-the-importance-of-gmat\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">importance of your GMAT Score<\/a> in MBA Admissions.
