  • Nearly 3,700 recruiters were asked to score 30 top business schools on reputation, creativity of graduates and other measures for the Bloomberg Businessweek Best B-Schools ranking.
  • When we combined the scores to create an overall ranking of b-schools, Harvard didn't make the top 20.

Harvard may boast one of the most famous business schools in the world, but not to recruiters.

The headhunters scored Ivy League university poorly on the Bloomberg Businessweek Best B-Schools ranking of full-time MBA programs.

Recruiters scored 30 leading business schools on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). They compared the schools on their ability to produce diverse and high-quality candidates, the creativity of their graduates, and how well their students are trained compared to peers from other schools.

They also assessed the value of each school's brand, its reputation for entrepreneurship, and how driven and entrepreneurial its students are.
