Why Top Business Schools Admit Mostly GMAT™ Applicants

When applying to business school, a strong admissions test score could be your ticket into the MBA or business master’s program of your dreams.

Although admissions teams take a holistic view of your application—factoring in your work experience, motivations, recommendations, and career goals—a high test score can help you stand out and demonstrate you’re ready for the challenges of a graduate business program.

While many business school programs do accept both the GMAT™ exam and the GRE, there’s added value for schools when accepting a candidate with a strong GMAT score.

Why top business schools look to the GMAT™ exam when admitting an applicant

The GMAT exam is specifically designed for business school admissions, while the GRE is a general postgraduate admissions test.

The GMAT exam was first designed by business schools in 1953. This means that schools have used the exam to measure a candidate’s critical thinking, reasoning skills, and suitability for the academic rigor of an MBA program for decades.

The exam consists of the following four sections:

• Analytic Writing Assessment, which measures your ability to think critically and communicate your ideas.
• Integrated Reasoning, which measures your ability to analyze data and evaluate information presented in multiple formats.
• Quantitative Reasoning, which measures your ability to analyze data and draw conclusions using reasoning skills.
• Verbal Reasoning, which measures your ability to read and understand written material, evaluate arguments, and correct written material to conform to standard written English.

Since the GMAT is tailored for business school admissions, recruitment teams are familiar with the score range and understand what it means in terms of a student’s predicted success in an MBA or business master’s program.

Candidates, by and large, prefer to submit a GMAT score when applying to business school. A recent poll by admissions consultancy MBA Crystal Ball found that 4 in 5 business school candidates think the GMAT exam is the better choice for business school admissions. According to enrollment data collected by the Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), about 80 percent of new entrants to top ranked US and European full-time MBA programs were admitted using GMAT exam scores. At Harvard Business School, for example, 71 percent of MBA students in the class of 2023 submitted a GMAT score, while just 29 percent got in with the GRE.
