... and Harvard only accepts about 10% of TOP applicants... however they define them.
Look for school that move you and that you can see yourself attending. 9 out of 10 applicants to Harvard or Stanford are turned away. Some of those have top GMATs, but it takes other things to fit in there. These two school have the option to turn away perfectly good candidates.
Another thing worth mentioning Harvard and Stanford are always at the top in every major. There are other schools that are better in certain areas. Like Finance: Chicago, Northwestern, Duke, NYU, Rochester Cornell, Columbia (usually the ones near NY)... for marketing it is mostly the midwest schools: Northwestern, Michigan, Indiana, Duke, U North Carol, and Emory.
For operations and technology it is the east coast... MIT, Carnegie, Duke Cornell, Purdue...
