While the business schools like Harvard, Stanford GSB, and Wharton are among the top schools to pursue Business and Management, Wharton is the least selective of all three. 

Wharton's larger class size (866 in MBA Class 2026) is the main reason for its accessibility. Wharton seeks students with strong quantitative and diverse professional backgrounds, which makes it more accessible than Harvard and Stanford. 

Mentioned below are the offer rates to the most prestigious b schools in the world:

SchoolMBA Acceptance Rate (2025)Class Size (Approx.)Number of Applicants (Approx.)

Yes, professors at top-tier universities like Princeton, Harvard, and Yale are normally reachable out of doors of sophistication.

They preserve everyday office hours where college students can go to, ask questions, or speak thoughts.

Many professors are open to emails or even casual chats after lectures or during campus events.

These universities focus on strong scholar-college interaction and mentorship.

Small class sizes in many packages also help make professors more approachable.

Students are endorsed to have interaction in studies or initiatives below school steering.

Overall, school accessibility is a key energy of these institutions.
