If they have similar stats... then the answer is, whichever one you can write more compelling essays for.

Kellogg probably has a stronger entrepreneurship program than Yale.

The main reason I'd say one has a better shot at Kellogg is because it's so much larger. Their stats are similar, but Kellogg is able to accept many more applicants, which means they have more flexibility in terms of number of students in any given demographic. Yale's small class means that you have to really stand out within your given group.

I think your focus in on Social Entrepreneurship..With this in mind, I think Yale has a great focus and will be a better fit..Yale SOM has been known for Social impact for long..I recently attended the Bangalore info session of Yale SOM and this fact was evident in my interactions with the alumni. You can read more about it here..
