Ranking authority The Princeton Review released its annual ranking of best business schools, and Stanford once again took top billing as the toughest to get into.

The Best 294 Business Schools: 2017 Edition looked to measures of selectivity — like acceptance rate, GPA, and GMAT score — as well as employment rates and salary, to compile the ranking.

At Stanford, entering students had an average GMAT score of 737 out of 800 and an undergraduate GPA of 3.73 out of 4.0.

Look below to see the most selective business schools in the US, according to The Princeton Review:
