Rankings

Johnson moved up two spots in this year's US News & World Report annual ranking of b-schools. We're up to 14, from 16 the past three years. Good news!

There's lots of talk about gaining a consistent top-10 ranking, but it's going to be difficult for us. Some study (don't remember) showed that size of the school and number of alumni correlates pretty strongly with ranking. Tuck and Haas are obvious exceptions at 8 and 9 with sizes similar to Johnson, but others ahead of us are larger and better-located.

Meanwhile, the rich get richer: Harvard and Wharton won't provide access to students for the Business Week 2004 report.
