MBA rankings by USNews vs Newsweek, which is more accurate?

Question

What are the differences between the MBA rankings by USNews & World Report vs the MBA rankings by Newsweek?

Which rankings are more reliablele and accurate?

Which are the most popular rankings to refer for an MBA aspirantst?

Answer 1

I don't think Newsweek does MBA rankings, but Business Week does.  I would pay more attention to the BW rankings than to the US News rankings.  People look at both, and they are usually fairly close, but the Business Week rankings seem to have a little more credibility, since they ONLY look at business schools, not hundreds of different kinds of programs.  Reliability and accuracy aren't really issues, because these are opinion rankings, not factual information, and what is measured is expected to change from one year to another.
