The Super Elite M7 US Business Schools: Where Do They Rank?

Prof. Dr. Amarendra Bhushan DhirajCEO InsiderFebruary 6, 2018October 22, 2019

The so-called M7 business schools refer to an informal super elite group of US schools that have become household names in business education – Chicago Booth, Columbia, Harvard, Kellogg, MIT Sloan, Stanford GSB, and Wharton.

Interpret the “M” as you wish – Magic, Magnificent, Monumental, or given their dominance of the top 7 places perhaps Motionless or even Mafia could apply.

All that does matter is that the M7 is the Holy Grail of the MBA Kingdom, and hard as hell to get into — and afford.

Many experts feel it should be the “Terrific 10,” including the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College; Walter A. Haas School of Business at the University of California (Berkeley); and Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
