The FT publishes a ranking of the top 100 full-time MBAs but, of course, it has to consider more than 100 schools to find the best 100. In its European Business Schools ranking, published annually, it ranks the major MBA programmes, including a dozen or so that didn't get into the top 100. https://rankings.ft.com/rankings/2869/european-business-school-rankings-2021
Many of these are world-class schools whose falling out from the top 100 may be short-term, such as Cranfield and Edinburgh. Admissions to these schools will generally be much easier after one or two years out of the top 100. In the current European ranking, it uses the Global MBAs 2021 ranking's full-time MBA data. The schools that didn't get into the 2021 Global ranking at listed below. After each school, you'll see the average salary.
At the bottom of the rankings, the schools are very tightly clustered, so I have sorted them by salary. I think that's a better guide to the selectivity and quality of the programmes.
