GMAT LEGACY DATA, CLASS OF 2027

The table below tracks GMAT Legacy (10th Edition) 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.
