University Of Pennsylvania—The Wharton School
The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is a private Ivy League university located in Philadelphia. Wharton was established in 1881 through a donation from Joseph Wharton and was the first business school in the United States.
When it comes to admissions, getting into the Wharton School is in some ways an end to the journey in itself. The school is consistently among the top in all existing international rankings, and also on top of recall even for skeptics of the ranking system for indisputably combining the best in business education that includes content, faculty, research and of course, students.
Dartmouth College—Tuck School of Business
The Tuck School of Business, founded in 1900, was the first U.S. school to offer a Masters of Business Administration and it certainly takes the best of skills to get into a prestigious college like this.
Even though the admissions have climbed ever so slightly to 20.8 percent from 20.4 percent the previous year, the acceptance rate is still very stiff and competitive as it stresses on a collaborative and teamwork-based approach to learning, which the college claims as one of its assets for "building the interpersonal skills required for business leadership”.
Yale University—Yale School of Management
Yale University is a private research university located in New Haven, Connecticut, and is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States.
Yale receives many more applicants than the school is able to accept each year, which means the admissions process is very selective. And you don't only need good grades but you need to find something that makes you stand out from the crowd.
The university, which has a long history of having a strong alumni network and has helped entrepreneurs like 23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki and Pinterest founder Ben Silbermann go on to have successful careers, certainly is not the easy university to get into.
