Asia Pacific Business Schools with the Highest Average GMAT Scores

Updated Updated

You might assume that, by and large, the average GMAT score of a school’s admitted MBA cohort rises along with a school’s standing in MBA rankings. However, QS’s 2014/15 Asia-Pacific MBA ranking show that this is not the case in this dynamic region.

In all, three Asia Pacific business schools have average GMAT scores topping 700 – accounting for 10% of schools featuring in the ranking (for the Global 200 rankings, the world’s top 200 schools are chosen by actively-hiring employers and academic experts in the field of business and management and then ranked by region). This compares to 20% of schools featuring in the North American ranking.

The Asia-Pacific schools in the 700 club are the Indian School of Business, IIM Ahmedabad (the IIMs more traditionally accept CAT rather than GMAT scores), and INSEAD Singapore.

The average GMAT score for the region is 625, 26 points lower than the average GMAT score for North America but 26 points higher than Europe. Singapore and Hong Kong seem to be the destinations of choice for high GMAT achievers, with three schools apiece represented in this top 10. Five of the Asia-Pacific business schools featuring in the ranking did not provide GMAT scores.
