Stanford MCF not enough students to rank?

They have never participated but with such a small size they will likely not be ranked.

We would soon implement a table view in addition to the card view where you can have the programs in a table like in previous rankings.
You can sort by column headers and switch between card and table view.
More improvements coming.

This has been implemented for both the US and UK rankings. Please take a look, use the table view where you can sort by column.

The 2025 ranking process is underway. We aim to release it in November.
New program is making a debut this year. Very excited about the growth of our ranking which has 4.2 million views and been #1 visited page on Quantnet for years.

The ranking now shows the average/mean undergraduate GPA of admitted students as reported by programs.
Keep in mind when you look at the admitted profiles in the Tracker, many GPA is self-reported and self-converted from a non 4.0 scale while the GPA reported by programs may use a different conversion scale. Some programs only report GPA of domestic students.

What do you have in mind?

I know I am late to respond, but as some of the metrics in the ranking have a 2 year class lag, I think incorporating input from the current or pervious year's class would benefit the ranking and the decision making of prospectus MFE students. Perhaps, a survey of satisfaction from the current class or the percentage of students who obtained paid internships the previous summer.

Can you clarify your points about some metrics being 2 years lag?
To your point about having some sort of input from recent students, I think it would benefit prospective students as far as having a deeper insight into the programs.
This is the exact reason I have tried to get as much alumni reviews as possible. As you can see on the ranking page, some programs only have a handful of reviews despite enrolling over a hundred students every year for the past 20 years. This tells me the quantity and quality are not there. It's not for a lack of trying from all stakeholders.
I love hearing feedback from all our members who have benefited from the insights that our rankings provide.
