Some 190 points separate the top programme, Harvard Business School, from the school ranked 100th. The top 12 participants, down to IE Business School, form the top group of MBA providers. The second group, headed by Cambridge: Judge, spans schools ranked 13th to 40th. Differences between schools in this group are small. The 37 schools in the third group headed by Georgetown University: McDonough are similarly close together. The remaining 22 schools, headed by Durham University Business School, make up the fourth group.
