5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable If You Are Considering An MBA
The editors of the WSJ have done an excellent job of summarizing in a useable format the strengths and weaknesses, as well as technical information on the top 50 business schools in the country (and the 50 runners up.)

1.0 out of 5 stars just google "MBA rankings"

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable If You Are Considering An MBA, May 21, 2004
This review is from: The Wall Street Journal Guide to the Top Business Schools 2004 (Paperback)
The editors of the WSJ have done an excellent job of summarizing in a useable format the strengths and weaknesses, as well as technical information on the top 50 business schools in the country (and the 50 runners up.) The beauty of this book over all others is the methodology of asking top corporate recruiters their opinions of the different programs (some of which are eye opening and controversial). This more readily gives someone seeking an MBA the relative value of a specific MBA in the marketplace, not as ranked by some elitist academic survey.

Of course, all these programs are excellent, and I think anyone would find some issue to quibble with in the rankings or synopses, but all told this is an enormously useful and complete source of information. No MBA candidate should be without it.
