According to a survey of students and alumni, more than 20% named Harvard as the school they would choose if there were no financial or admission restrictions. This is the third year in a row that HBS has remained the most desirable MBA program in the world.

Stanford Business School was in second place (15%). No other university scored more than 5%. Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) is not in the ranking.
