tive year, we have used both GMAT and GRE scores in the ranking model for MBA programs that reported both scores. Using the GRE scores allows us to take into account the admissions test scores of the entire entering full-time MBA class. 
Scores on the GMAT test range from 200 to 800. Only GMAT scores are shown on the ranking table. These data are only available via a U.S. News Business School Compass subscription. 
Mean undergraduate GPA (0.075): This is the average undergraduate grade-point average of those students entering the full-time program in fall 2013. 
Acceptance rate (0.0125): This is the percent of applicants to the full-time program in fall 2013 who were accepted. 
Overall rank 
Data were standardized about their means, and standardized scores were weighted, totaled and rescaled so that the top school received 100; others received their percentage of the top score. In order to be included in the full-time MBA rankings, a full-time MBA program had to have 20 or more of its 2013 full-time MBA graduates who were seeking employment. 
For a school to have its employment data considered in the ranking model, at least 50 percent of its 2013 full-time MBA graduates needed to be seeking work. MBA programs that did not meet the employment criteria are listed as Unranked (see next page for an explanation of Unranked). 
Specialty rankings: These rankings, including of executive MBA programs, are based solely on ratings by business school deans and directors of accredited master's programs from the list of schools surveyed. They were asked to nominate up to 10 programs for excellence in each of the areas listed. 
Those schools receiving the most votes in each specialty are listed and are numerically ranked in descending order based on the number of nominations they received as long as the school/program received seven or more nominations in that specialty area. This means that schools ranked at the bottom of each specialty ranking have received seven nominations. 
Rank Not Published: Rank Not Published means that U.S. News did calculate a numerical ranking for that school/program, but decided for editorial reasons that since the school/program ranked below the U.S. News cutoff that U.S. News would not publish the ranking for that school/program. 
U.S. News will supply schools/programs listed as Rank Not Published with their numerical rankings, if they submit a request following the procedures listed in the Information for School Officials. 
Schools/programs marked as Rank Not Published are listed alphabetically. In graduate business we have numerically ranked the top three-fourths of the graduate business schools that qualified to be ranked. The bottom quarter of the rank-eligible business schools are listed as Rank Not Published and are listed alphabetically. 
Unranked: Unranked means that U.S. News did not calculate a numerical ranking for that school or program. The school or program did not supply U.S. News with enough
