2014 Admissions Results

This is late because I've been so busy this year, but here are our 2014 Top MBA  admissions results. Ranks are a combination of Poets & Quants (Fortune Magazine) and US News and World Report.

  1. Harvard: 4 (+2 compared to 2013)
  2. Stanford: 1 (same as 2013)
  3. Chicago: 1 (+1)
  4. Wharton: 1 (-1)
  5. Kellogg: 0 (-4)
  6. MIT: 4 (+1)
  7. Columbia: 2 (same)
  8. Tuck: : 1 (+1)
  9. UC Berkeley: 1 (-2)
  10. Duke: 2 (same)
    • Michigan: 4 (+1)
    • NYU: 1 (-1)
    • Virginia: 2 (+2)
Poets & Quants and US News and World Report don't agree on 10-12, so I included all the schools that they include in their top ten lists.

The total number of top school admits is 24, which is down from 27 last year, but total numbers are way down for Japan this year, especially at the schools that traditionally accept a large number of Japanese applicants, like MIT, Kellogg, and Wharton.

The Kellogg results are vexing. We had 7 enroll at Kellogg in 2012 and 4 in 2013, and this year ZERO! We had students who were accepted at Kellogg but chose to enroll in other programs. To be fair, Kellogg admitted just 7 or 8 Japanese to the two year program this year, which is down from 17 two years ago. Still, that's disappointing.
