Us news mba ranking places stanford & wharton on top for 2024.

Stanford Graduate School of Business has risen to the top of this year's US News MBA Ranking ©Stanford GSB / Facebook

The 2024 US News MBA Ranking lists Stanford and Wharton as the best business schools in the US, ahead of last year’s ranking leader

Tue Apr 9 2024

Both schools leapfrogged last year’s number-one ranked school, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management which placed joint-third. 

Stanford in particular performed well, jumping from sixth place in 2023 to share the top spot. Wharton meanwhile rose to the top after losing the crown in 2023. 

Stanford, Wharton: US News MBA Ranking Analysis

The performance of schools in the US News MBA Ranking is based on a number of factors, which can be split by categories of placement success, quality assessment, and student selectivity. 

Placement success metrics include students’ earning potential after graduation and schools’ employment rates. Student selectivity includes admission rates, average GMAT scores, and average GPAs. Quality assessment includes how corporate recruiters and other business school deans assess a program. 

Placement Success

Stanford boasts the highest average pay—consisting of both salaries and bonuses and worth 20% of a school’s overall position—of all schools in this year's ranking, amounting to $209,680. 

Wharton also performs well for pay, however its figure of $201,296 is exceeded (narrowly) by a number of schools including Chicago Booth, Dartmouth Tuck School of Business, University of Virginia Darden School of Business, and NYU Stern School of Business. 

Stanford is outperformed by several schools when it comes to the employment rate of graduates three months after leaving the program. This metric is worth 13% of a school’s ranking, while 7% is also attributed to the placement rate at the point of graduation. 

In this year’s ranking, Stanford’s placement of 82.8% is beaten by all of the other schools in the top 10, with only Harvard Business School sharing a rate below 90%. 

Wharton meanwhile achieves a placement rate that ranks among the top five. The school helped 94.2% of students land a role within three months of graduation, as per the US News data. 

A new metric for 2024 ranks schools according to their salary performance broken down by profession. This metric delves deeper into how the average salaries of grads entering several key industries compare between schools. These industries are: consulting, finance and accounting, general management, human resources, marketing and sales, information technology, and operations and logistics. 

Worth 10% of a school's overall weighting, Stanford tops the salary by profession ranking, followed by Wharton in second place and Harvard in third. 

Student Selectivity

Within the student selectivity metrics, Stanford is revealed to be the most competitive school with an admission rate of 8.4%. The next closest scores among the top 10 are achieved by Harvard (13.2%) and MIT Sloan (17.7%). Wharton’s admission rate of 24.8% places it among the top five most competitive schools. 

At just 2%, a school’s admission rate has the least weighting among the student selectivity metrics. Median GMAT scores (13%) and median GPAs (10%) contribute significantly more to a school’s performance. 

Both Stanford and Wharton achieve the highest median GMAT scores, at 740. This is shared with other top 10 schools including Harvard and Kellogg. 

At 3.8 Stanford also has the highest median GPA among all schools, alongside Harvard which also has 3.8. Wharton is marginally below this at 3.7. This places the Pennsylvania-based school level with the likes of Kellogg, MIT Sloan, and Yale for this metric. 

Quality Assessment

Demonstrating the high esteem within which the Stanford MBA is held, it is the only program to achieve a score of 4.7 out of five for both the peer assessment and recruiter assessment surveys. These metrics are each worth 12.5% of a school’s overall weighting. 

Harvard places second, with a 4.7 for peer assessment and a 4.6 for the recruiter score. Wharton’s score of 4.6 for peer assessment and 4.5 for recruiter assessment places it below Stanford, Harvard, Kellogg, and MIT Sloan.

How to get into Stanford’s MBA program

Have you ever thought of what matters most to you? It’s the best food for thought ahead of applying to Stanford University’s full-time MBA program—one of the most competitive in the country, and ranked No. 2 on Fortune’s list . 

Of the 7,324 applicants to Stanford Graduate School of Business’s class of 2022, a mere 436 enrolled. Stanford doesn’t publish its acceptance rate, but the admissions committee selects only 10% or so of applicants for interviews—and about half of interviewees receive offers of admission, says Kirsten Moss, assistant dean of MBA admissions at Stanford GSB.

UNC Kenan-Flagler’s top-ranked online MBA

To earn a spot in Stanford’s MBA program, the school requires that you share evidence of intellectual vitality (academic performance), demonstrated leadership potential, and personal qualities and contributions. Stanford MBA applicants provide evidence of these qualities through an interview, letters of recommendation—and its standout essay question , “What matters most to you, and why?”

“It’s a philosophy question. It’s an existential question. It’s a life question,” says Tyler Cormney, cofounder of MBA Prep School . “So the fact that Stanford starts there I think says a lot about the type of candidate that they’re looking for.”

Why test scores won’t necessarily score you a spot

GMAT scores , your undergraduate GPA, and years of work experience can provide evidence of a strong work ethic and academic excellence, but those numbers aren’t enough to guarantee admission to Stanford GSB.

The average student admitted for the class of 2022 had a 3.8 undergraduate GPA, a 733 GMAT score (or 165 verbal and 164 quantitative on the GRE), and 4.7 years of work experience.

“If you look at the numbers, the medians are at the top, if not the very top, of all of the business schools,” Cormney says. “That just means that Stanford is in a position where they don’t really have to compromise on test scores or GPA or blue-chip work experience.”

Beyond the numbers, candidates must illustrate their leadership experience and what makes them stand out.

“If you’re in a situation where you have low numbers, you need that other element of your profile that makes people stop in their tracks and say, ‘Wow—we want her,’” says Hollis Kline, an admissions consultant with Gatehouse Admissions who earned her MBA from Stanford.

What matters most to you, and why?

Stanford admissions officials, students, and MBA admissions experts agree that the pillar of GSB’s application is that aforementioned essay question.

“Stanford has led the way toward essays that ask applicants more about who they are and how they see the world and less about a recitation of their accomplishments,” Kline says.

Discovering and recognizing what matters most to you is no easy task. Chris Aitken , also cofounder of MBA Prep School, performs an exercise with his clients to brainstorm ideas for the essay. By building a timeline of milestones from the past 10 to 12 years, applicants can find themes and ideas of things that matter most to them that aren’t trite or trivial, Aitken says. 

Kline adds that when it comes to brainstorming ideas for the essay, the “first answer is never the final answer.” The essay should be about something that gets you up in the morning and motivates you, she adds. When you think you may know the topic of your essay, Kline challenges you to keep asking yourself “why” at each level until you know what you’ve learned, where you want to go, and “what is at the core of who you are.”

Why Stanford?

Also part of the essay section is the question: “Why Stanford?” It’s important during this section to focus on what is most important to you—or what problem you want to solve in the world—then dig into what resources Stanford has that can help you achieve that goal, Moss says. 

“One of my big takeaways is to just really believe in yourself—especially when it comes to writing a Stanford GSB essay,” says Emily Calkins, a class of 2021 student. “You have to be self-confident enough to also admit you’re not perfect, which is an interesting tension.”

This section is an opportunity to show Stanford what you will contribute to its community.

“Tie together how the things that matter the most to you have influenced the things that you’ve done,” Aitken says. “Have a consistent theme of how that would influence the things that you would do in the Stanford class and community.”

Who should recommend you to Stanford GSB?

A common misconception among MBA applicants is that the more prestigious or seemingly important the title of the person referring you, the better the chance at acceptance. Unless your recommender happens to be the head of the company you work for and someone with whom you work closely on a daily basis, it’s best to go a different route.

“The letters of recommendation are so important because they’re the only objective ‘other voice’ that factors into your application,” Kline says. 

Through a letter of recommendation, the admissions committee should be able to see your strengths, qualities, leadership, creativity, initiative, and teamwork, Cormney says. 

“We’re looking for someone who has been in the trenches with you,” Moss adds. For that reason, an alumni letter of recommendation is welcomed, but not necessary. An advantage to an alumni reference, Cormney says, is that the “individual understands the school, the culture, what it takes to succeed. So, they can testify to the fit and they can testify to the ability to succeed.”

Getting to know you

Stanford GSB interviews are held with an alum, and typically someone who is in your career field. While the interview is more conversational than those at other top business schools, Moss encourages applicants to really be prepared for the interview. Remember—only about 10% of applicants are selected for this part of the process.

Interviewers will ask about your background and about choices you’ve made. MBA admissions consultants encourage applicants to really know their story and be able to explain transitions in their life and career. 

“Make sure that right as you walk in, you’re prepared to share those things you’re proud of and tell us in a way that we understand what was the context you were in, what was your challenge, what did you do, why did it matter,” Moss says.

Made an impact? “Put it on the list”

A key to success with the Stanford GSB application is knowing and understanding the MBA program well. Students, admissions officials, and MBA consultants encourage applicants to do their research, which they say can really make the difference in writing strong essay responses.

“When you start to talk to the people who understand the values and the culture, you start to understand what it means to be a part of this community,” says Kerry Omughelli, another class of 2021 student. While Stanford’s stats appear intimidating and out of reach, Omughelli says it’s important to “ shoot your shot ,” he says.

“If you don’t apply, you’re definitely not getting in,” he adds.

Because Stanford GSB’s motto is to “change lives, change organizations, change the world,” Moss encourages those who have made a difference to apply.

Have you made an impact at your organization or in your community? Put Stanford on the list, Moss says. “Don’t take yourself out because you perceive that you may not fit perfectly into our average of anything.”

MBA Campus Visit Tips

• September 1, 2020

How To Do School Visits Right

Last week a client asked the very common question “When should I visit campus?” and we thought it’d be a great time to share my top MBA campus visit tips. The most valuable time to visit a school is:

• On your own (i.e., not during interviews)
• Before you apply
• While school is in session

Table of Contents

1. but why visit.

First, an unsolicited visit shows the strongest commitment and greatest interest in the school. More than anything, the ad com wants to know that you want to go to  their  school and one way to show your interest is by taking the time to visit.

Second, visiting before you apply while students are still on campus, you’ll get a much more realistic sense of the community and campus life – an important factor in deciding if this school is the place you want to spend the next two years of your life.

And finally, if you decide you want to apply, you’ll have extra fodder for your personal statement and interviews. As you will inevitably talk about school culture and student life, now you’ll be able to add rich personal details, making your essays intimate and unique.

2. How to prepare for your MBA campus visit

Before you visit campus, you’ll want to read up on the school. Here are some resources to help your research:

• Check out this article by my teammate,  Charli , about creative ways to  connect with your top MBA schools
• Download Angela’s  MBA Decision framework  for a sense of the priorities you might want to focus on in your primary research
• Make sure to review the MBA Campus visit dress code for your target schools (hint: HBS campus visits are business formal, Stanford MBA campus visits are business casual)

Other ways you can learn about MBA schools: peruse student and campus blogs, follow the MBA programs on social media, read through the list of student clubs and see which ones pique your interest.

You don’t need to know everything about the school before you visit, but you should know enough that you feel comfortable. For example, you’ll probably want to know if the curriculum is fixed or flexible, if you have to choose a specialty, or if you can cross-register for courses.

You’ll also want to know a bit about the culture –where students hang out and if they live on campus, so you can make sure you explore the important areas! As you’re doing your research, write down any questions that you might want to ask students, the adcom, or career services during your visit.

After you’ve done your research, you’ll want to schedule your visit. Most schools will ask you to register ahead of time, but check out the Admissions website as this varies by school. 

As you go through your day on campus, be sure to take ample notes!!! You will want to reference them later when you’re choosing schools and writing your essays.

Bonus recommendation : Buy a school t-shirt and take a selfie of yourself in front of the main campus building. This might come in handy if the school asks for a  creative essay with multimedia aspects !

3. Get to Know the MBA Campus

Some schools have official programs to facilitate campus and class visits. If so, definitely sign up for that! Here are some links to top schools’ campus visit programs to get you started:

• Harvard  Business School Class visit program  is a full day of amazing insights into campus life
• Check out  Stanford  MBA Campus Visit  events or their  Campus Tours program  and maybe even do a  Stanford campus virtual  tour before you get there
• Visit the gorgeous Harper Center on your  Chicago Booth  Campus visit
• Check out  Wharton  Campus visit program
• Schedule your  Kellogg  campus visit  to check out their brand new facilities or attend one of  Kellogg’s preview days
• The MIT MBA Campus visit  options give you several ways to get to know the campus
• The  Columbia  MBA  class visit program  offers a ton of  admissions events on campus
• Get over to Berkeley for your  Berkeley Haas  campus visitation
• Plan to spend the whole day on your  Yale MBA  campus visit
• Choose your spot in the  NYU Stern  campus visit  program or meet them at one of  their live or online events

But even if you’re doing a self-guided tour, here are a some self-guided mba campus visit tips to help you make the most of your time:

• Get to know the area – take an  Uber  or bike around the campus , through the neighboring community, before you even step foot on it. 
• Go to the  local hot spots  where MBAs go for snacks, lunch, drinks – including the campus cafeterias and local coffee shops. If you’re visiting HBS, make sure you stop by  Zinneken’s  in Harvard Square for the most amazing Belgian waffles!! I personally read so many case studies from that counter.
• Find out  where students hang out and study , then walk through these areas and see how it feels.
• Find out  where recruiting happens . Will you have to leave campus for internship interviews? Remember recruiting happens in the dead of winter. Will you have to walk across icy sidewalks in your slippery interview shoes or can you just walk down the hall to your interview room?
• Find out  where students sit in class . Are seats assigned? Do people sit in the same seat each time? Do students stay in the same classroom for all their classes? (FYI, at Harvard the answer to all three of these is yes!) What’s class attendance like?
• Where do most people live? On-campus? Off? Try to visit a  dorm or walk the street where students rent apartments .
• What kinds of extras are there?  How’s the gym ? Are there tennis courts? Is there a chapel or meditation space on campus to check out? How’s the library? Does anyone use it?

Even asking a subset of these questions will give you a really good sense of the school and the community. So pick your favorites!

4. Sit in on an MBA classs

Sitting in on a class is one of the best ways to get a feel for a school. You’ll learn about the teaching method, the level of academic engagement, and how students and professors engage with each other. It’s hands down the best way to get to start distinguishing schools from one another, so try to make the time to do it! 

Things you’ll want to pay attention during your class visit:

• How’s the quality of the professor?
• How advanced and challenging does the material seem? (you might find big differences across schools on this one!)
• How engaged are students with the material?
• How do they treat each other in the class discussion? Could you see yourself participating here and having a good time?
• Will this class style challenge you, in a good way? In a bad way?
• How would you feel about learning in this environment? Does it feel like a match for how you learn best?

Don’t forget, most schools likely have rules about conduct during class visits, so don’t forget to look them up before you go. For example, most schools will ask that you just observe and not speak up, so make sure you know before you accidentally break the rules!

5. Talk to members of the MBA program’s administration

To be best prepared for your visit, you’ll want to prepare questions to ask during informational interviews with students, and different questions to ask the admissions committee and members of the career services teams.

We often get asked, “what’s a good question for the admissions committee?” Though there’s no universal answer to that question, a good question is one that…

• Is personal to you, i.e., something you genuinely care about knowing the answer to
• Can't be answered by a quick look at the school's website, and
• Demonstrates your knowledge of and interest in the school.

For example, a good question might be something like “I’m really interested in women’s equality in business. I know HBS recently celebrated 50 years of women at HBS and I’m wondering what else the school is doing on a more regular basis to support the equality of women in the classroom?”

I recommend avoiding questions about scandals or negative press affecting the school. Combative or accusatory questions won't endear you to community members.

Your goals during these conversations should be to show your knowledge of and interest in the school and make a connection. So ask intelligent and respectful questions. Ideally, the ad com member will remember you after the conversation and put a star on your folder! But worst case, even if you botch these conversations, it’s still not going to ruin your chances of getting in, so try not to stress about it too much!

One final way to prepare is to practice your personal introduction. Not an elevator pitch (we are not a fan of those!!) So check out our article about  introducing yourself in a much better way than an elevator pitch  to help you with this.

6. Talk to current students at your favorite MBA programs

While you’re on campus, don’t miss the opportunity to talk to current students! It can be easy to get caught up with the campus tour, the class visit, and conversing with the admissions committee, but a great way to get to know a school is to chat with current students. 

You can either do this casually – when the class visit ends, start talking to the student next to you – or more formally – by setting up coffee chats ahead of time. Before your visit, email the co-chairs of 1-2 student clubs you’re interested in and see if they’re free to meet with you before or after your campus tour. Make sure you go in to those meetings with some prepared questions!

Want some help tracking down campus club cochairs? I’ve got you covered. Here are the links student clubs at your favorite MBA programs. Click through the lists to find current co-chairs for most clubs. 

• Harvard Business School Student Clubs
• Stanford Student Clubs
• Chicago Booth Student Clubs
• Wharton Student Clubs
• Kellogg MBA Student Clubs
• MIT Sloan Student Clubs
• Columbia MBA Student Clubs
• Haas Student Clubs
• Yale SOM Student Clubs
• NYU Stern Student Clubs

Good questions to ask students include:

• Anything about their experience
• How they chose the school
• What social events their club hosts
• What recruiting events their club hosts
• What else are they involved in on campus
• How supportive is the career services office

After your meetings, be sure to send thank you notes and any follow-up questions to people you met with. If you really liked anyone you met, try to stay in touch with them.

You could send them a relevant article based on their interests or send them a restaurant recommendation for the city they’re headed to next! You never know, you may even end up referencing their names in your Personal Statement!

7. Final MBA campus visit tips

Don’t forget that these school visits are for you! It can be really helpful to get to know the school, to identify why you want to go there and write about that in your essays, and to show the admissions committee how interested you are in the school.

More than anything, we recommend that you view this process as building a relationship with a community that you will soon be part of. It’s as if you were considering a job offer – you’d want intimate details about what it’s like to work there and you’d want to have some friends on the inside!

However, we know school visits can be time-consuming and expensive. So, if you can’t manage to visit all the schools you’re applying to, try to attend an event hosted by the school in your city, meet alumni for coffee, and attend any webinars the school hosts. Those can be alternative, low-cost ways to get to know the schools if you can’t manage to visit.

One last tip:  if you live near a school you’re applying to, and you don’t visit, then you might as well not apply. I say this for two reasons. One – without even realizing it, it probably means you don’t actually want to go to that school. Two – if the school doesn’t think you want to go there, they won’t even give you the chance to reject them. So save yourself the trouble! Or, just visit the school! 😉

Oh, and when you’re on campus make sure you check in with the Admissions Office so they know you were there!! <- that’s really important!!

Happy MBA Campus visiting!!
