I'm still very curious what caused such a large adjustment in Ivey MBA's ranking this year on the FT list (Globe and Mail article). From the looks of it there was no explicit changes in the methodology used for the FT rankings. And yet somehow there seems to be a very significant reshuffle of players on the board. Furthermore, how do you consolidate such information as a loss of 10 places on the FT list with a gain of 6 on the Business Week list of International schools. It surprising to see that gain correlates to the loss on the other. Personally I find it really confusing and mildly unrealistic. The best way to avoid the confusion is to search for alternative sources of information such as placement reports from each school and then visit the school, sit in classes, and talk to current students.
Ultimately MBA is the degree that will help you capitalize on your strengths, therefore it should feel like a right fit when you try it on. Same idea as with a pair of professional running shoes, if it's a size smaller it would not matter that it's the most technologically advanced shoe on the planet it will not help you win any races.
