The M7 MBA selectivity has not been getting worse. In this cycle, the seven schools collectively admitted 2.7% more students and enrolled 1.8% more than the year before. Getting into an M7 program is still hard, but the trend line this year moved the opposite way from what people assume. This is useful for anyone talking themselves out of applying because “it’s basically impossible now.”
That aggregate trend is a good reason to actually apply. This is not a substitute for knowing your real odds at each of the seven schools specifically, given your background, GMAT, and target industry, or for understanding what admission actually costs and pays back once you’re in.
That’s exactly what our 2026 M7 MBA Guide breaks down, school by school. And it’s free. Link in bio.
