The Yale Business School is among the most selective higher educational institutes in the US, with an acceptance rate of meagre 3.9%. This means it only accepts on average 4 applications for every 100 it receives.
Prospective students must demonstrate outstanding academic ability, & leadership abilities outside the classroom to have the best possible chance of secruring a seat at the institute.
Wharton, on the other hand, has an acceptance rate that is almost 3 times that of Yale, & stands at 11.8%.
Wharton gives students a much better chance of admission than Yale.

UPenn expects a minimum GPA of 3.9 from international applicants, and ACT and SAT score of 34 or above and 1500 or above to provide successful admission. However, the range provided by the official is lower than expected due to high competition. Students must perform well academically throughout their schooling and college to improve their selection chances. Also, they must work on some relevant extracurricular activities to showcase during admission.
