4) Rice
The most acceptances came from:

Southern California, Wharton.
Many that applied to just ONE school did so despite the advice NOT to apply at all this year due to their low GMATs (below 600 points) and/or their meager work experience (less than 2.5 years). This group experienced a much higher rejection rate than the rest.
