Number of acceptances / Number of people who wrote the qualifying exam

Using this metric, you would have an acceptance ratio in Harvard (arguably the most sought after business program) of:
Number of admits / Number of people who wrote the GMAT

That is approximately 900 / 238,000 = 3.8%

3.8% is still an order of magnitude higher than the acceptance rate for the top 2 year programs in India. It would be interesting to see how many people would apply for CAT if they knew that they would need a minimum of 2 years of experience to be accepted. Cultural nuances and difference in acceptance criteria are difficult to adjust for.
