> As a side note: The Economist MBA rankings 2021 have raised eyebrows because European schools rankings increased so much: https://whichmba.economist.com/ranking/full-time-mba

Notably this list is missing most top-tier MBA schools like Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Wharton, Northwestern, U of Chicago, MIT, UC and others.

If you want to say some of these schools are overrated, fine, but if none of them made the top 90 you've got a weird rankings methodology that isn't gonna be useful to most people.

Most (all?) of the schools you list declined to participate (or were ineligible) in the Economist's ranking system this year it seems. Note that the last time they did participate, many of them were top tier. Harvard (2 in 2019), Stanford (8 in 2019), Columbia (15 in 2019), Wharton (5 in 2019), NW (4 in 2019), Chicago (1 in 2019), etc. etc.

Many of these lists aggressively weight cost meaning any substantially expensive school self-eliminates regardless of quality of education.
