The Schools section of the site provides you with user-generated information about each school. Clicking on the "Graphs" or "Applicants" buttons will show you the GPAs and GMAT scores of all of our users who applied to each school –- as well as who got in and who did not. You will notice that you can also look at the data from a number of different application cycles. If you are a current business school student, we would appreciate your help in providing information about your school in the Detail portion of each school.

The Users and Search sections allow you to find users who might be similar to you. You can see how they have done in previous application cycles to gauge your own chances of admission.

The My Chances section will compare your GPA and GMAT score to the GPAs and scores of every one of our users who was admitted to every business school in the country. It will use that comparison to give you a rough estimate of what could be your reach, target, and safety schools. Of course, the function is merely a guide, and we do not guarantee any results. Instead, we merely want to give you an additional resource to help you during this challenging process.

The Forum is a place where you can discuss issues such as the GMAT, your personal statement, interviews, financial aid, and individual schools.

The Top 20 Ranked Business Schools that you see to the right are calculated by averaging the five available rankings for business schools: BusinessWeek, the Economist, the Financial Times, Forbes, and U.S. News & World Report.  We thought that by averaging them all together, we could present to you the most accurate ranking of business schools possible.

We are constantly trying to improve Business School Countdown to provide you with the best possible experience. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact us. Best of luck in your application process!
