<p>UPenn Arts and Sciences (Econ)
Northwestern U WCAS (Econ)
Cornell U CALS (AEM)
Emory Goizueta
UMichigan Ross (PAmission)</p>
<p>Could anyone list these from easiest to hardest to get in? Thanks.</p>
<p>Just my opinion:
Emory
UofM
NW U
CU
UPenn</p>
<p>I agree, if that is order of increasing difficulty, though I don’t know enough about Northwestern’s program to judge where it goes.</p>
<p>interesting…I thought Upenn would be easier than AEM since it’s not Wharton.</p>
<p>Not so sure about that ranking. Michigan Ross Preferred Admission to the BBA program is highly selective, much more difficult to get into than the university as a whole. For the class of 2011 they reported median ACT of 32 and median SAT (CR + M) of 1450. </p>
<p>This is very similar to, perhaps slightly stronger on SAT than Northwestern WCAS which reported a middle 50% range of 30-34 ACT and 1350-1520 SAT. I couldn’t find figures for Cornell CALS but I’ve seen it reported frequently (on CC and elsewhere) that the “contract colleges” (which would include CALS) are easier to get into than CAS or Engineering, and generally pull down the university-wide averages. And Penn reports a class of 2011 median SAT of 1431 university-wide; since The College (Arts & Sciences) is the largest undergrad unit, you’d have to presume it’s close to or possibly slightly below that figure, because I believe Wharton and Engineering are slightly more competitive than the university as a whole. </p>
<p>I’d say of the 5, Ross Preferred Admission is probably the most difficult to get into, though Northwestern and Penn are close. Not sure where Cornell CALS stacks up, but since Penn Arts & Sciences claims to be more selective than Cornell Arts & Sciences and Cornell Arts & Sciences is more selective than CALS, I assume it’s also less selective than Ross Preferred Admission. So my guess, from easiest (1) to hardest (5) to gain admission:</p>
<ol>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>Cornell CALS</li>
<li>Penn A&S</li>
<li>Northwestern WCAS</li>
<li>Michigan Ross Preferred Admission</li>
</ol>
<p>well apparently Cornell AEM now has like a 11% admission rate</p>
<p>Something like:</p>
<p>Emory Goizueta</p>
<p>gap</p>
<p>Northwestern U WCAS (Econ)
UMichigan Ross (PAmission)</p>
<p>smaller gap</p>
<p>UPenn Arts and Sciences (Econ)
Cornell U CALS (AEM)</p>
<p>Cornell CALS has lower admit rate than UPenn CAS. If I can get into Emory with two major spelling mistakes (non s) in the first three sentences along with a serious grammar mistake, then anyone competent can.</p>
<p>i see that there is a lil debate over UM PA admission, based on the data given by bclintonk, it seems to be really hard, but none of the others think this way??
can someone provide a consensus?</p>
<p>since its quite the same thing, i wont start another thread on this, but can someone rank them according to their difficulty of getting in??</p>
<p>New York University (Stern)
UM-Ann Arbor (preferred admission to Ross School of Business)
University of Virginia (McIntire)
Emory University (GA) (Goizueta)
Carnegie Mellon University ¶
Boston College (Carroll)</p>
<p>sorry if its not clear, but i will be applying to their business program, finance to be specific..thanks in advance!!</p>
<p>Help!!!</p>
<p>I know that the Gourman Report isn’t just based on selectivity, but that would be a good resource for at least approximate comparisons here.</p>
