Score statistics

Esade’s admissions information reports a recent-years class-average GMAT of about 615 on the current edition (GMAT Focus scale). This is a cohort-average reference, not a minimum, median, admission guarantee or stated target; the school does not identify a specific cohort year for that average. Its published class profile does not give a Focus-score distribution.[1][5]

INSEAD’s current MBA FAQ recommends GMAT Focus section results at the 60th percentile for Verbal (80), and 66th percentile for Quantitative (80) and Data Insights (77). These are admissions recommendations, not minimum cut-offs. The policy page does not publish a GMAT Focus total-score target, class average/median, or class score range; no such statistic is inferred here.[9][10]

NUS MBA FAQ explicitly accepts the GMAT Focus Edition. The school’s posted typical full-time class profile reports an average GMAT Focus score of 615. That is a cohort average, not an admissions cutoff; NUS says it has no minimum or specific test score. No Focus median, minimum, maximum or score range is published on the cited profile/FAQ pages.[20][21]

Current admissions explicitly names GMAT Focus as an accepted test route but publishes no Nanyang-specific GMAT Focus average, median, minimum, maximum or range. No current legacy-GMAT cohort average/median or published range was located either. The FAQ’s older legacy-scale ‘600 and above’ language is not stated in the current AY2027 policy and includes historically dated test-validity examples, so it should not be treated as an AY2027 cutoff.[25][31]

HKUST’s current Full-Time MBA policy requires GMAT/GRE but publishes no GMAT Focus-specific minimum or Focus cohort average, median, or range. GMAT Focus total scores use the 205–805 scale. GMAC’s Aug. 2024 concordance table maps legacy 660 to Focus 615 at the corresponding percentile; this is a scale comparison, not an HKUST cutoff or a Focus cohort result.[32][39]

The current Full-time MBA criteria explicitly name GMAT Focus Edition and give 555 as the preferred minimum only if the test is requested; it is not a hard published minimum for every applicant. Trinity publishes no GMAT Focus cohort average, median, minimum/maximum, or score distribution that was verified here.[41]

WHU’s September 22, 2026 Excellent Fit sheet recommends 555+ for GMAT tests taken after May 2023. It does not explicitly label that recommendation as GMAT Focus, and it is not a required minimum. No Full-Time MBA cohort GMAT mean/average, median, published range, minimum, or maximum is stated in the current official admissions materials. Do not treat the recommendation as cohort statistics or a cut-off.[50]

MBS explicitly accepts GMAT Focus Edition for the Full-time MBA. Its Fulltime MBA FAQ describes the average successful applicant score as approximately 635 on the Focus scale. MBS does not publish a separate Focus minimum, a cohort median, or published score range.[55][58]

SP Jain’s current GMBA page says GMAT without naming the Focus Edition; the current admissions policy likewise does not explicitly identify Focus. GMAC describes the current Focus total-score scale as 205–805 and its published 2021–2026 score data place 655 at about the 90th percentile. SP Jain publishes no GMBA cohort GMAT Focus average, median, minimum, maximum or range, and no separate Focus cutoff was located.[64][68]

The same Esade admissions information gives a recent-years class average of about 660 on the previous/legacy GMAT scale, and accepts valid GMAT scores from the current or previous edition. The 660 is an average, not a cutoff. No verified legacy-scale minimum, median, maximum or score range is published on the cited admissions/class-profile pages.[1][5]

For legacy GMAT Exam (10th Edition, available 2012–2024), INSEAD recommends at least the 70th percentile in each of Quantitative and Verbal and Integrated Reasoning 6 or above. These are section recommendations, not a total-score minimum or class average. The FAQ says there is no minimum overall score; no official MBA cohort average/median or published score range was located in the current admissions materials reviewed.[9][10]

The same posted typical full-time profile reports an average legacy GMAT score of 670, separately from the Focus average of 615. Neither is a cutoff. NUS publishes no legacy GMAT median, minimum, maximum or range on the cited pages; do not treat the two scale averages as interchangeable or as an admissions threshold.[18][21]

The current AY2027 admissions page says ‘competitive GMAT/GMAT Focus or GRE’ without a legacy-scale number. An undated FAQ says legacy GMAT ‘600 and above’ / ‘>600’, but also gives test-validity examples tied to 2019; this is not verified as a current cutoff. NTU does not publish a current legacy-score minimum, average, median, maximum or range for this intake in the cited materials.[25][27]

HKUST’s FAQ explicitly says there is no minimum GMAT/GRE score and reports a Full-Time MBA average GMAT of 660, but it does not state the exam edition, cohort year, or scale; it is a cohort average, not a cut-off, and should not be represented as a Focus score. QS TopMBA’s HKUST profile separately lists a typical class range of 570–710, but gives no cohort year or scale; treat it only as undated third-party context, not current official admissions policy. No school-published median or current edition-specific minimum/maximum/range was located.[38][39]

The same FAQ says the typical incoming GMAT is in the legacy-scale 600–650 range and says Trinity would not normally admit below legacy 550 or the equivalent Focus score. The 600–650 figure is a stated typical incoming range, not a mean/median or published cohort min/max. The FAQ also gives the current Focus preferred-minimum figure of 555 but does not clearly reconcile that with its legacy-scale wording; do not treat either policy reference as an observed cohort statistic.[41]

The current WHU policy does not publish a separate legacy-scale GMAT recommendation or a legacy-to-current score conversion. The only stated reference is 555+ for tests taken after May 2023; WHU does not name the scale in the sheet. Do not equate that figure with a legacy GMAT score without written admissions confirmation.[50]

MBS’s FAQ publishes a 560 minimum GMAT score (legacy 200–800 scale; it is not stated as a Focus minimum), and says meeting it does not guarantee admission. The same FAQ gives a successful-candidate average around 680 legacy / approximately 635 Focus, while the main Fulltime MBA page says recent students achieved an average GMAT of 695 or higher. These are cohort-average guidance, not cut-offs; the official pages report different averages. No median, minimum/maximum cohort range, or full score distribution is published.[55][58]

The 29 April 2026 SP Jain policy publishes GMAT 650+ as a minimum expected score but does not label it legacy or identify a scale. GMAC distinguishes the current Focus scale (205–805) from the previous GMAT 10th Edition scale (200–800); therefore the school threshold cannot safely be converted or presumed to be a Focus score. No GMBA class GMAT average, median, actual minimum/maximum or score range was located. The published 650 is an expected admissions threshold, not a cohort statistic, and is subject to discretionary consideration below it.[62][64]
