The Princeton Review selects schools based on their academic programs and
offerings, institutional data and candid opinions of students who rate and
report on their campus experiences. Schools are not ranked academically nor
are their ranked hierarchically.  The 2008 book has 11 ranking lists of top
10 schools in various categories from ³Best Professors² to ³Best Career
Prospects.²  The ranking lists are based on surveys of business school
students conducted during the 2006-07, 2005-06 and 2004-05 academic years.
Most were completed online at The Princeton Review¹s student survey site.
The 80-question survey asks students about their school¹s academics, student
body and campus life, themselves and their career plans.
