<p>Well, the title says it all. I just want to know if it is really this selective, and how do you know! thanks</p>

<p>Not if you’re Donald Trump’s daughter. On a more serious note, why would you doubt the accuracy of that figure for admission to the most sought-after US business school ?</p>

<p>Earlier this year, one of the more well-informed posters here did some calculations based on available data and certain assumptions, and determined that Wharton’s acceptance rate is, indeed, in the neighborhood of 7% or so (read posts 136, 137, and 141, and the documents linked therein):</p>

<p>What about the ED acceptance rate for Wharton? Any ballpark estimates?</p>

5

<p>Since the ED rate is 25% across all schools, it would be ballpark to say Wharton ED is 2 times normal. Which would make it around 15%</p>

6

<p>ED is probably 17-20%. Or slightly lower, but much higher than the 7%.</p>

The funny thing is, she is at Penn, but is in the College. However, I’m pretty sure that that was by choice.</p>
