OK, so y’all know I like to pass along good information when I can, right? Well, I’ve been keeping my ear to the streets and found out that the US News & World Report 2010 Business School rankings have been leaked a couple of weeks early. The funny part is that they accidentally leaked it themselves and now the news is kinda hot out on the B-school message board circuit.
Here’s the story…The best I’ve been able to figure out is that US News & World Report put out a video about graduate schools on their website (LINK TO THE VIDEO) recently and accidentally linked the list. If you check out the video and go to the 0:55 mark, you’ll see a list of B-school rankings displayed on the screen. After this apparent slip-up, a site called AutoAdmit.com scanned the B-school rankings shown in that US News & World Report video and posted it on their site. From there, the story broke and the news about it caught fire on the BusinessWeek B-school message boards and other websites. I thought about posting the list up here for you, but I figured that it would be smarter to refer you to that other site to see the list…you never know what can happen, right?
In the grand scheme of things, does this leak really matter? Probably not because everyone who was planning to apply this year has already done so and admitted applicants have chosen their schools by now. But, y’all know that the B-school applicant crowd loves looking for stuff to get worked up over at this time of the year
If the list posted on AutoAdmit.com is correct, there were some VERY interesting movements among the top tier of business schools.

Interesting that Kellogg seems to have jumped up. U.S. News seems to be the only ranking that still has Kellogg over a school like Booth, which trumps Kellogg everywhere else at this point. It’s also interesting that they give Sloan and Haas so much love.
