developed in collaboration with business school deans and administrators, poets&quants for undergrads’ methodology is based equally on admissions standards, academic experience, and employment outcomes. no other ranking or school survey asks for the same amount of concrete data ranging from the percent of national merit scholars at each business school, to the percentage of students with global experience while at the school, to average debt upon graduation. while other services might ask these sorts of data questions at a university-wide level, no other organization asks at a business-school specific level. visit poest&quants for undergrads site to learn more about the 2018 rankings, the methodology and to locate a specific school.
