WHAT KIND OF SCHOOL YOU WANT TO ATTEND?
? Ranking and thus the reputation of a good school impresses prospective employers and students. But your career prospects won't necessarily be based on attending if you make sure to attend only a top business school. The reasons are:

• The best rankings do not assure the best quality of education. The factors included in these rankings can definitely give you a quantitative measurement but do not give you a holistic view of the faculty and their teaching, infrastructure and technology, team-work and leadership skills of current students and the value system at school.
• Regardless of the rankings, many business schools have connections with various industries. These connections can help students while finding their jobs.
• If you are a promising and ambitious then you tend to do well regardless of which business school you attend.

BUSINESS SCHOOL RANKING - A WORD OF CAUTION

• Most rankings guides include a few schools, rather than ranking all schools, and it's not usually clear how this initial group of schools has been selected. For example there are roughly 700 schools which offer MBA degree in the US and none of the ranking conducting bodies rank all of these.
• Many rankings take into consideration the evaluations done by business school deans, recruiters, alumni and current students to prepare rankings and there is little information on how these people evaluate the criteria.
• Rankings should evaluate individual programs rather than just evaluating the school as a whole.
