<p>We all have our versions of the truth. </p>

<p>Sure, and do you really think that BW more accurately represents that than USNews does? That’s the question at hand. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think that’s true. Keep in mind that BW releases GRADUATE rankings before USNews did, but that doesn’t mean that BW is, in this case, more accurate. Far from it, in my opinion. Again, every BW ranking in history has placed NWKellogg over HBS, yet the fact is, HBS consistently beats Kellogg in cross-admits every year. That indicates that either BW has it wrong, or all these people who prefer HBS over Kellogg are being stupid. Which is it? </p>
<p>On year, BW ranked Stanford #11. Do you believe it? Twice, BW ranked the MBA program of MIT Sloan #15. Do you believe that? </p>
<p>I believe that revealed preferences is a far more useful proxy for the quality of a school. If students revealed that they consistently prefer one school over the other, I think it’s safe to say that that school is probably better. Why would students consistently prefer the worse school?</p>
