Kellogg’s performance over the last year have fluctuated both ways – a large improvement in one ranking, and lower declines in the other three. BusinessWeek and US News both registered a 1-place slide, from 5 to 4 and 4 to 3 respectively. The Economist saw a two places slide from 18 to 20. However, Financial Times was the only publication that showed marked improvement in ranking from 21 to 16, for Kellogg. Overall, Kellogg has maintained a good position among the best Business Schools. Only time will tell whether the minor slides are just hiccups and not the start of a trend.

For the past 15 years I have edited the application files of admits to the M7 programs: Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Wharton School, MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth, Kellogg School of Management, and Columbia Business School, together with admits to Berkeley Haas, Yale School of Management, NYU Stern, Michigan Ross, Duke Fuqua, Darden, Tuck, IMD, London Business School, INSEAD, SDA Bocconi, IESE Business School, HEC Paris, McCombs, and Tepper, plus other programs inside the global top 30.
My work covers the full MBA application deliverable: career planning and profile evaluation, application essay editing, recommendation letter editing, mock interviews and interview preparation, scholarship and fellowship essay editing, and cover letter editing for funding applications. Full bio with credentials and admit history is here.
I am the author of the Winning MBA Essay Guide, the best-selling essay guide covering M7 MBA programs. I have written and updated the guide annually since 2013, which makes the 2026 edition the thirteenth.
The reason I still write and edit essays every cycle: a good MBA essay carries a real applicant's voice. Writing essays for F1GMAT's Books and Editing essays weekly is how I stay calibrated to what current admissions committees respond to.
