I was an amateur applicant. I didn’t sufficiently ask that question. There is no shortage of MBA admissions pages or advice. I hope this one can be helpful and differentiated. At a minimum, in hindsight, here is what I wish I knew:
“It’s my ability to connect and empathize with my clients,” confides Bond, a director at Fortuna Admissions who earned her people skills at London Business School and The Boston Consulting Group.

And when you are at that point with a client, I get to understand more about them and their story.
The evaluated research from 157 UK higher education institutions in 34 different subject areas, measuring both the quality and impact of the school’s research submissions. uses the REF findings to rank schools, and it ranked Judge No. 1 in the Business and Management Studies.
Wharton, which claimed the top prize in 2017 and in 2018 when the school’s MBA program tied with Harvard Business School, narrowly edged out the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. Stanford slipped to third place, while Northwestern Kellogg and Harvard rounded out the top five MBA programs in the U.S.
INSEAD loses its first-place standing, sliding into eighth place, by virtue of a technicality. The school’s MBA program went unranked by The Economist in its very last MBA ranking last year. INSEAD was not the only premier international business school to drop based on a decision to abandon a key ranking during the year.
You can answer that question in a variety of ways. Certainly, a school that receives more applicants per available classroom seat than any other would qualify. attracts 14.5 applicants per seat, better than any prestige MBA program in the world.
