    Frankly, I’m a little surprised that Stanford is number 14 and London School of Economics at 10. I would have figured these two schools would have been ranked higher on the list.

    Yes, but note what the ranking is based on. It doesn’t tell you anything about the quality of education, at least not directly.

    I disagree with the rankings becuz i tink University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) is the best school for finanace and economics and University of Berkeley closely follows. What are the rankings based on? Peer assesment or Overall experience?
