We analyze if the students participating in these entrance exams differ from average first-year business students and which factors influence their choice of a business school. A separate analysis for a cluster of very highly motivated students reveals that for these students a short study time and a practical Orientation are of utmost importance as decision criteria. We derive suggestions for German business schools that want to target this specific segment of students.
