Hi there!

Adding to Carcass ‘s point, you can also check the average GMAT/GRE and GPA of the schools and tailor your list accordingly. However, these are not the only criteria the schools look for.

Hope this helps!

I concur. Check the average scores e.g. https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/average-g ... 22116.html here is the list for the MBA programs and there are lists like that for Master's if that's what you are looking for.

If you are from an over-represented demographics, that means your average is actually HIGHER and would be 5 points higher on average or potentially as high as 10. Keep that in mind as you research schools. The way to find out what other people got admitted with is to use decision tracker on GMAT Club (the one here does not have much data yet) https://gmatclub.com/forum/decision-tracker.html and figure out what people from your background got admitted with. You can also network with students (which I recommend doing and speaking to as many admitted students as possible)

Thx.
BB.
