<p>Is applying to Harvard Business School with Harvard Undergrad more difficult than, let's say, the University of Pennsylvania?</p>
<p>I know that Harvard Undergrad is the largest feeder into HBS, but I also read this in Poets & Quants:</p>
<p>"Yet, many of Harvard’s applicants who failed to get into the school had GMATs well above the 724 average and GPAs above the 3.66 average. That’s because the entire applicant pool has an average GMAT at Harvard of over 700. So the competition is tough, requiring the school to turn down many who meet or exceed the average scores. That’s why the school accepted only 13% of those who applied to HBS last year, among the lowest acceptance." </p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
