Although the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 170 points separate the top programme, Harvard, from the school ranked number 100. The schools are divided into four groups, indicated by bold lines: those in groups one and two score above the average for the cohort, and groups three and four are below it. The difference in score between schools ranked consecutively is greater within groups one and four than in groups two and three. The top 10 participants, down to University of Chicago: Booth, form the top group of MBA providers. The second group, headed by Northwestern University: Kellogg, spans schools ranked 11 to 35. The 49 schools within the third group are headed by University of Southern California: Marshall, at 36th. The remaining 16 schools headed by Purdue University: Krannert, at 85th, make up the fourth group.
