Footnotes: * KPMG reported on the results of obtaining evidence and applying specified audit procedures relating to selected data provided for the Financial Times 2007 MBA survey ranking for selected business schools. Enquiries about the process can be made by contacting. Michelle Podhy and Patrick Gaudet of KPMG by email at
[email protected]. The specified audit procedures were carried out between November 2006 and January 2007. The audit date denotes the survey for which the specified audit procedures were conducted. ** These schools run additional courses for MBA students for which additional language skills are required. These figures are included in the calculations for the ranking but are not represented on the table to avoid confusion. Although the headline ranking figures show the changes in the survey year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is also significant. Some 205 points separate the top school from the school ranked 100 in the 2007 ranking. The top 16 schools, from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to Iese Business School, form the leading group of world class business schools. The second group is headed by the Anderson School at UCLA. Some 40 points separate the Anderson School from the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, which leads the next group. The fourth group is headed by Edinburgh University Management School and includes schools ranked from 54 to 100. Some 51 points separate these 47 schools. However, there are very few points separating schools within this group.
