Dear All,

The 2008 FT rankings are out.. A number of changes compared to last year.. UK B schools go up in the rankings (Bcoz FT is London Based??)...And ISB makes it into the rankings...Look forward to your comments and expert analysis!!!

Cheers

Clearly, Asian and European schools are up and US schools have taken a beating.

Ross, Haas, Kellogg, Darden, Duke and Tepper ranks look out of place.

In the weighted salary, ISB is number one in the world!!

Quiet amazing.....

It is full of surprises!  The US universities  loose  their positions to  UK and Asian universities.

very interesting.....

USC and Texas below Iowa, UC Davis, Penn State and Arizona?  HUH?  USC and Texas are top 25 US.... Those others are 50-100...

How is it possible for these rankings to be so off from the other rankings we see? 

Also, can anyone say anti-US schools?

There is something really fishy with the ISB salary mentioned. There is no way its this high.

The FT rankings are calculated with salary being one of the key determinants.

When the dollar was strong US schools did well. Now it's a weak currency US schools do badly.

One of the nice things about the FT is that they use an objective measure which you can see for yourself. If you dont agree with their measure then it's because you dont like their metric - that's all. No drama.
