10 Business Schools That Accept the Most Applicants

Did you bomb your GMAT? Was your GPA lower than your blood-alcohol level? Have your fallbacks rejected you too?

Looking for a sure way to get into an MBA program? Well, hope is not lost. Sure, you can enroll in an online program–or with that new program that opened up in the strip mall. First, let me share two magical words with you: Coastal Carolina.

“Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” … and we’ll enroll them. That’s right: Coastal Carolina has a 100% acceptance rate! And the University of South Dakota and Clark Atlanta aren’t far behind at 95% and 93.5%, respectively.

Of course, none of these schools are ranked, which is why Pepperdine, #76 in the latest U.S. News rankings, is worth a shot. Just don’t get sticker shock: Tuition is $43,930 a year. But it is located in Malibu. And you know what they say: Location! Location! Location!

Here is U.S. News’ listing of the 10 schools with the highest acceptance rates:
