Kim Keating, Director of Public Relations at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth maintains that rankings have an important role to play. "Business school rankings are still a valid tool for prospective students, recruiters, and others interested in business education.
The best way to approach the six major rankings is to look at them as a whole and study the different aspects and attributes that each one is surveying." She believes that the imperfections of rankings should be tolerated.

TopMBA has responded to these pressures from candidates and academics by producing QS TopMBA.com/Scorecard, which allows candidates to formulate their own rankings, based on audited data. It's obvious that what is important to one MBA candidate may not be an issue for another. Scorecard allows its user to select criteria such as country, specialization, and return on investment, amongst numerous other factors that may be decisive factors to one's selection. The results are well respected and the recruiter feedback provides a credible, independent basis for ranking schools.

Ultimately, the main problem with rankings is that they aspire to make objective something that is fundamentally a very personal and subjective process. Users need to delve into each ranking and identify the elements that can provide useful information or insight into schools that may interest them.
