When U.S. News calculates our annual rankings of the Best Graduate Schools, we get all the statistical data we use from the schools themselves. This means U.S. News depends on those schools to provide accurate and complete data in response to our statistical surveys. When a school does not provide data that are used in the rankings methodologies, that can have a significant effect on its position in the rankings. During the statistical data collection process for the newly released 2017 edition of Best Business Schools, New York University's Stern School of Business did not submit its data for the number of new entrants to both its full-time and part-time MBA programs who provided GMAT scores. These data were for the fall 2015 entering class. U.S. News uses the number of new entrants who provided GMAT scores in both the full-time and part-time MBA ranking models.
