The Old GMAT Is Fading Away. Here’s What Top MBA Scores Look Like Now At 50 Top U.S Programs

GMAT FOCUS DATA, CLASS OF 2027

The table below tracks GMAT Focus submission rates, averages, medians and reported score ranges for the MBA class entering in fall 2025 — the Class of 2027 — across the 50 top U.S. MBA programs in Poets&Quants’ 2026 ranking.

Data comes from official business-school MBA class profiles where available, supplemented with testing data reported to U.S. News & World Report for its Best Business Schools ranking. Because schools vary in what they disclose — some publish averages, others medians, full ranges or middle-80% ranges — blank fields indicate that a comparable figure was not publicly reported.
