What is a good GMAT score? Average GMAT score by School - Merchant GMAT & Admissions

Written by Merchant GMAT | 11/13/20 6:26 PM

What is a good GMAT score? For many it is dependent on the target school they want to go after.

Some people target the best Business Schools in the world such as Harvard, where over the last two years the average GMAT score has been 730. Others may have a particular location in mind, for example recently we spoke to a student who wanted to go to Durham University in the UK, where the average score over the last two years has been 637.5.

Your choice of school will dictate what GMAT score you need to aim for. To help you figure this out we decided to create this GMAT score table of the top Universities and their average GMAT scores for the last two full years, 2019 and 2018.

Enjoy!
