Table Note
Although the headline ranking figures show the changes in the survey year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is also significant. Some 185 points separate the top school from the school ranked 100 in the 2008 ranking. The top 15 schools, from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, form the leading group of world class business schools. Some 63 points separate Wharton from Tuck. The second group is headed by Yale School of Management which scored 50 points more than the Tanaka Business School of Imperial College London, leader of the third group. The fourth group is headed by Eller College of Management of the University of Arizona and includes schools ranked from 57 to 100. Some 40 points separate these 44 schools.
