The pattern repeats itself in the Southwest as Stanford GSB produced the highest bases at $157,500. As usual, the school was closely trailed by Harvard Business School, Dartmouth Tuck, Chicago Booth, and Northwestern Kellogg. The region’s top-ranked program, Texas McCombs, ranked 11th in base pay at $130,275 with Rice Jones grads raking in $125,782. An HBS grad again nabbed the best individual base at $240K.
