QS Scorecard
TopMBA Scorecard
TopMBA Scorecard is designed to provide a personalized selection of business schools. This is a radical new interactive alternative to standard business school rankings. QS has invested substantial resources in building an unrivalled database of information on all the world’s major business schools and their business masters programmes.
TopMBA Scorecard includes, a wide range of search criteria and three types of unique calculators: programme strength, return on investment and specialisations. This sophisticated web-based technology allows candidates to build an individual ranking of schools.
Scorecard has been designed with the help of thousands of MBA applicants who have attended World MBA Tour events during the last few years and hundreds of MBA admissions officers at top schools.
Our TopMBA Applicant Survey identified that many applicants are being misled by rankings. Many candidates have experienced mismatches in terms of suitability, eligibility, local versus international career objective, teaching methods and other personal selection criteria.
In order to tackle the generalist nature of conventional rankings, QS has spent the last two years developing the interactive, online Scorecard tool to improve the process of choosing the right MBA programme. The latest version of Scorecard uses information from nearly 280 top schools to enable potential students to ‘weight’ key criteria such as return on investment, strength of faculty and diversity of student body to create a personalised ranking tailored to their unique needs and requirements. According to Nunzio Quacquarelli, managing director of education and career development QS and editor of the Top MBA Career Guide “It’s no exaggeration to say that Scorecard makes traditional rankings obsolete.”
Our approach empowers you to identify which school(s) will best meet your personal goals, whilst also giving you key insights into those schools to ensure you have an edge in your application – because the best applications come from candidates who have been thorough in their research and really understand what makes a school different!
