Blog Archive B-School Chart of the Week August 2016 Social Currency Rankings Rankings come in all shapes and sizes, but can any ranking truly capture social cachet? For a different perspective on the value of an MBA, we turn to the  New York Times  society pages, where the editors select and profile promising couples. Each month, we dedicate one B-School Chart of the Week to tallying how alumni from top-ranked business schools are advancing their social currency ranking. The 2016 summer wedding season is over, but MBAs certainly took advantage of its last few weeksâ€"as is evident from the 22 August weddings involving MBAs that were profiled by the New York Times. Columbia Business School (CBS) graduates were especially busy, with four CBS MBAs tying the knot in three weddings. Danielle Kennedy and Markus Fischer, who were married on August 20, met on a CBS study trip to Japan while both were pursuing their MBAs at the school. CBS also served as a matchmaker for MBAs Charlotte Chapman and Jorge Vilariño, who walked down the aisle on August 27. In addition, a number of current MBA students did not let their studies get in the way of wedding feverâ€"MBA candidates from Harvard Business School, CBS, and Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth wed their loved ones just before the start of the fall semester.
