Harvard Business School has reaffirmed its status as the world’s most coveted MBA program, according to Bloomberg Businessweek’s Best B-Schools survey.

For the third straight year, a plurality of students and alumni—more than 20%—named Harvard, fourth overall in this year’s US ranking, as the program they would choose if costs and admission weren’t obstacles. Stanford Graduate School of Business, the reigning No. 1 school in this year’s US ranking, followed with 15%. No other school cracked more than 5% of the vote.
