4. 賓夕法尼亞大學——沃頓商學院

??得分：98.2
??GMAT平均分：725
??錄取率：22%
??2013年平均基本工資：120,000美元

沃頓商學院出現了什么問題？實際上，問題并不嚴重。但兩個月前《華爾街日報》（Wall Street Journal）的一篇文章卻指出，沃頓商學院近幾年落后于競爭對手，還說沃頓商學院過去四年的申請人數減少了12%，在商學院中的排名多年來也在持續下滑。幾家MBA入學咨詢公司也贊同這種觀點，稱隨著市場從沃頓商學院的核心優勢——金融領域，向科技與創業領域轉變，沃頓商學院正在慢慢褪去昔日的光環。

然而，今年沃頓商學院畢業生的就業情況卻創下了學院的歷史記錄。今年，沃頓商學院約97.8%的畢業生在畢業前三個月便收到了工作邀請，高于去年的95.5%，而平均基本工資也達到了125,000美元，比2012年上漲了5,000美元。

沃頓商學院今年的新生或許也是它有史以來最優秀的一屆——至少從GMAT平均分來看是這樣。2015屆學生的GMAT平均分達到了創紀錄的725分，比前一年提高了7分。與其他許多商學院不同的是，在女性招生比例中，沃頓商學院一直走在前列，遠遠高于哈佛商學院或斯坦福大學商學院。沃頓商學院今年的新生有42%為女性。

What's wrong with Wharton? Not very much, to tell the truth. Yet a Wall Street Journalstory two months ago suggested that Wharton has fallen behind rivals in recent years, pointing out that applications have dropped 12% in the past four years along with a years-long decline in business school rankings. Several MBA admissions consultants reinforced the story line, saying that Wharton's luster had faded as the market has shifted away from the school's core strength in finance toward technology and entrepreneurship.

Yet MBA graduates from Wharton this year had one of the best placement records in the school's history. Some 97.8% of the class had job offers three months after graduation, up from 95.5% a year earlier, and median base salaries rose to $125,000, up $5,000 from 2012.
This year's entering class at Wharton, moreover, is arguably its best ever -- at least as judged by average GMAT scores. The 725 average GMAT score for the class of 2015 is a record and seven points higher than the previous year. And unlike many other business schools, Wharton has led the way by enrolling record percentages of women, higher than either Harvard or Stanford. This year, 42% of the entering class is made up of women.
