The rankings are determined by five main criteria: Admissions, Diversity, pre-MBA quantitative qualifications, Career, and Qualitative Assessment. 

Admissions factors in metrics like the total number of applicants and yield rate. Diversity considers the class profile in terms of international students, female representation, and US minority enrollment. Pre-MBA quantitative qualifications encompass GMAT/GRE scores, GPA, and prior work experience, as well as the percentage of the class that submits test scores. Career metrics include average base salary, signing bonus, and employment status at graduation and within three months afterward. Qualitative Assessment entails evaluations from peers and employers.

These criteria are weighted as follows: Admissions 15%, Diversity 5%, pre-MBA qualification 20%, Career 40%, and Qualitative Assessment 20%.
