<p>Do keep in mind, however, that Penn has (1) probably a disproportionate number of applicants and (2) a degree of “home court advantage”. In any event, I hope that helps.</p>

<p>i am wary to believe that graph because it doesn;t take into account the percentage af people at those colleges who got into wharton. For example, at wharton, since there are so many majors it could have been 50/200, while ar princeton it could have been 30/90</p>

<p>also… does anyone else have any opinions?</p>

<p>going into this thread, i thought it would be easier for HYP students to get into business school (or a good job) than it would be for wharton students. so your saying im wrong?</p>
