The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the organization that owns the GMAT, tracks and reports test-taker statistics for the total group as well as various subgroups. According to GMAC, the mean GMAT total score for all test-takers is approximately 560. While this is interesting information, it is more important that you do the research on the program or programs you are interested in applying to know the average score of their incoming students. For example, the average score of Berkeley's incoming class to the Hass School of business is a 725, more than one hundred points higher than the overall average. This information is vital to understand as you prepare to apply to top-tier programs.
Manhattan Review has experienced professionals who can help with your preparation by helping you understand what your goal should be for the programs you are interested in. Take advantage of our more than twenty years of experience to help set up the right course for you, depending on your needs and schedule.
