美国商学院到底哪家强，看排名?一家一个排法，你知道哪个是没收钱的。其实有个更直观比较方法：如果同时被多所商学院录取，学生会如何选择?现在大数据可以告诉你答案!

　　彭博社研究了去年(2014)美国顶尖商学院的录取情况，在对这些学生进行调查后发现，学生实际选择的学校往往不是排名更好的!那么在实际的录取过程中，同时申请到多所商学院的学生到底是如何抉择的呢?来看下面的数据：

　　   Duke (Fuqua) vs. Michigan (Ross):

　　128 students admitted to both programs

　　Despite Fuqua’s claim to the top spot inBloomberg Businessweek’s 2014 Full-Time MBA rankings, the University of Michigan’sRoss School of Business, ranked ninth and situated far from sunny North Carolina, claims more than twice as many applicants who get into both schools. Thirty-seven percent of students admitted to Fuqua and Ross select another program altogether.

　　杜克大学的Fuqua商学院在彭博社2014年Full-Time MBA排行榜(以下统称“B榜”)中名列第1，密歇根大学的Ross商学院排名第9。前者位于阳光灿烂的北卡莱罗纳州，后者则在五大湖的环绕之中。数据显示，在这128名学生中，选择Ross的人数是选择Fuqua的两倍还多，大家舍弃了第1名奔向第9名的怀抱了呢。。。

　　Chicago (Booth) vs. Northwestern (Kellogg):

　　113 students

　　Hometown rivalsBoothandKellogghave both been No. 1 inBloomberg Businessweek’s MBA rankings at various points over the years, despite different reputations and strength areas. Booth is known for rigorous focus on quantitative skills, while Kellogg touts its powerhouse marketing faculty. When admitted to both, more students pick Booth.

　　芝加哥大学的Booth商学院和西北大学的Kellogg商学院都曾在过去几年彭博社的“B榜”中拔得头筹，两所学院优势各异，Booth以严格的定量分析训练闻名，Kellogg则重点培养强势的市场型人才。这两座商学院都位于美国第三大城市：芝加哥。同城德比，结果如何呢?数据显示，同时被这两所商学院录取的学生中，最终选择Booth的学生数量更多。

　　Pennsylvania (Wharton) vs. Chicago (Booth):

　　99 students

　　Whartonbested Booth for the first time since 2000 inBloomberg Businessweek’s 2014 rankings, but students were voting with their feet well before that.

　　2014年“B榜”中，宾州大学的Wharton商学院首次在排名上压过了Booth。录取数据也支持了这一排名，选择Wharton的远多于Booth!　

　　Columbia vs. NYU (Stern):

　　93 students

　　Despite a less prestigious reputation thanColumbia,Sternenrolls a respectable 23 percent of students who have a choice between both of NYC’s premier MBAs.

　　同在纽约的这两所商学院，纽约大学的Stern在名气上稍逊哥伦比亚一筹。只有23%的学生最终选择了Stern。　

　　Chicago (Booth) vs. Columbia:

　　91 students

　　Perhaps Columbia’s attractive New York location helps it nab more students than Booth, notwithstanding Chicago’s better academic reputation and performance in rankings.

　　虽然Booth商学院的学术实力和排名更加优秀，但是选择Columbia的学生数量却更多，其最大的原因应该是Columbia位于纽约吧。　

　　Northwestern (Kellogg) vs. Michigan (Ross):

　　88 students

　　Kellogg and Ross are natural competitors as major Midwestern MBA programs that offer a less finance-heavy environment than Booth. More students choose Kellogg.

　　这两所商学院有不少共同点，首先他们都地处中西部，另外，这两所学院的位置决定了这里的消费水平比纽约、芝加哥等大城市要低廉一些。调查结果显示，选择Kellogg的学生数量更多。
　

　　Duke (Fuqua) vs. Virginia (Darden):

　　81 students

　　Fuqua’s top ranking was several years away when the Class of 2014 chose where to get an MBA, andDardenhas been slipping. Check again next year to see if this close contest tilts toward Duke.

　　同时被排名第1的Fuqua和排名第10的Darden录取，最终选择结果的比例却如此相近，令人费解。　

　　Pennsylvania (Wharton) vs. Harvard:

　　69 students

　　Two of the world’s top business schools don’t closely compete among the elite group of students admitted to both. Most chooseHarvard. Interestingly, more than a quarter of these students find neither Wharton nor HBS to their liking, and end up elsewhere.

　　这是两所世界闻名的商学院，排名也很相近，同时被这两校录取的学生中绝大多数学生最终还是选择了哈佛。有趣的是，居然有超过1/4的学生最终选择的既不是哈佛HBS也不是Wharton....他们怎么想的?

　　UCLA (Anderson) vs. UC Berkeley (Haas):

　　69 students

　　The University of California system has a number of good business schools, but UC Berkeley’sHaas School of Businesshas traditionally had the best reputation. Time will tell whetherAnderson’sseven-spot rise and Haas’s five-spot fall in the 2014Bloomberg Businessweekrankings alter applicants’ clear preference for Berkeley.

　　加州大学系统中，有不少名声很好的商学院，其中加州伯克利的Haas商学院无疑是其中的最杰出的佼佼者。但在今年的“B榜”中，Anderson排名上升了7位，而Haas则下降了5位，不知道未来这两者的地位会否有质的变化的呢?Time will tell.
　　

　　Stanford vs. Harvard:

　　63 students

　　Forget getting into bothStanford Graduate School of Businessand HBS—getting into either highly selective program is an elusive goal for thousands of applicants each year. Among the lucky 63 people in our sample who had their choice between two U.S. MBAs with among the choicest pedigrees, the contest isn’t close: Most opt for Stanford.

　　同时被斯坦福和哈佛录取?Forget about it!能被这两所学校中的任何一所录取都比中彩票的几率大不了多少，这可是万里挑一啊。但在调查中就是有63只讨厌的luck dog，他们同时被斯坦福和哈佛的商学院录取了!虽然这两所商学院都是最最顶尖的，声望上相差无几，但学生选择的结果却令人惊讶：Most opt for Stanford.
