America's Best Graduate Schools 2005: Business: Part-Time M.B.A.
We're number 2!.
The salient part is that we ranked above Kellogg. hee.
The full time program is 6th, predictably behind HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Sloan and Kellogg.
Further indicating that rankings are bogus. These schools are all great, and have totally different methodologies. Comparing Harvard to Chicago is actually apples to oranges--cases to quantitative analysis. Marketing at Harvard is about making things feel right (I oversimplify perhaps), at Chicago its about making the numbers work. It's not quite that black and white--I have a course this quarter that involves no economics at all (and came with a warning. "this is as much a psych class as a management class. you will never see a number in this class. be warned". I rejoiced.); I'm sure HBS makes their students take some quantitative classes.
So, right, the rankings are BS. My brother likes to say that ranking schools is like ranking religious denominations--nothing is right for everybody.

but the competitive part of me is still happy about being second.

Breaking news--mistrial in the Tyco case. Sigh.
