Methodology

US News30%
Financial Times25%
Bloomberg15%
QS15%
Poets and Quants15%

Each publisher's most recent full-time MBA ranking is converted to points (rank 1 = 100 points, rank 2 = 99, and so on), then combined as a weighted average using the weights shown. When a source does not rank a school, the remaining weights are renormalized so no school is penalized for a publisher's coverage gaps; a school needs ranks from at least three of the five publishers to receive a composite rank at all. Ties share a rank.

Why these weights: US News carries the most applicant mindshare in the United States and audits school-reported placement and selectivity data. The Financial Times brings a global, alumni-outcomes view built on a survey taken three years after graduation. Bloomberg surveys students and recruiters directly but its year-to-year volatility is well documented, so it earns a smaller share. QS adds international employer perception. Poets and Quants is itself a consensus of other lists, useful signal but partly double-counted, so it also stays at the smaller share. We publish the weights so you can disagree with them: every per-source rank is shown in the table, and the CSV export includes all of them.

The Score column is the SFN Score (0 to 100), which ranks every school including those the big lists skip: publisher consensus 50%, published outcomes (median salary and 3-month employment) 20%, GMAT selectivity 20%, acceptance rate 10%, with weights renormalized over whatever components a school actually publishes. A school needs the publisher component or at least two data components to be scored. Schools ranked without publisher coverage carry a "data-based score" basis you can filter on: their position reflects published outcomes and selectivity only, weighted exactly as stated, which is the same logic the major publishers use, applied transparently.

Class profile figures (GMAT, GPA, class size, acceptance rate, tuition) come from each school's own published class profile or admissions pages wherever available, labeled with source and year on each school's profile page. We never estimate, convert between GMAT editions, or fill gaps with guesses; a dash means the school does not publish the figure. Rankings referenced belong to their respective publishers and are cited as published facts with attribution.
