Globally top business schools often have higher requirements in terms of admission. Selectivity index, yield rate, and acceptance rate helps the candidates to understand the potential MBA courses in those universities.
Selectivity index helps a candidate to understand which programs are easier for them to enroll in. On the other side, the acceptance rate is a ratio of the number of admissions offered by the university and the total number of applications made.
MBA selectivity index is developed by Accepted and with the help of this, a huge number of candidates apply in the B-Schools realistically.
Here are the top B-schools and their acceptance rate and selectivity index along with the average GMAT score and number of fulltime enrollment:

It is a fact that you cannot apply to these B-schools just because you want, rather you need to consider the eligibility and the statistics before applying. Do not forget to go through the selectivity index before trying for the registration in these universities. Also before applying, find out the programs which appear competitive for you. Based on that you have to assess your strengths and weakness and work on the weaknesses to strengthen yourself to perform well in GMAT.
