Business Administration PhD/DBA competitiveness? 15 Dec 2016, 17:38

This is a question that I was curious about but couldn't find much on - how competitive are PhD/DBA programs at top business schools? Does anyone have insight into the typical acceptance rates/GPA/GMAT? We have a lot of data about MBA programs, but not so much about the doctoral ones.

The closest that I could find is from HBS: 132 doctoral students enrolled, and about 900 applicants a year. If that enrolled numbered means that 25-30 students are brought in every year, the acceptance rate would be about 3%...

What about lower-ranked programs (top 10...25)?

It's very competitive. You can find that kind of data about several programs. Some examples:
