Average GRE Scores - Top 50 MBA Programs (2023)
This data has been gathered from school websites based on the class of 2023 profile (those who started in Fall of 2021). If there is a blank or a "-" in data, it means it is not available from any public source online including rankings sites or the school site or the class profile.
We provide information about
- Average GRE Score at Top BS (MBA Full-Time Programs) both for Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning;
- The increases/decreases of the GRE score as data points (Score \(\uparrow\) or \(\downarrow\)) - Table #1;
- The 6-years trend increases/decreases GRE submissions as a percent (%) - Table #2;
- We provide the middle 80% (according to the same school) where a precise score is NOT available,giving the median. See below what is meant to be per middle 80%.
- Where we do have solely the Composite GRE Score means the school provides only the two scores quant and verbal combined
The middle 80% is the range within which the majority of people in a school’s current class scored, with 10% of the class scoring higher than that range and 10% scoring lower.
So, which end of the spectrum should you aim for? If, for example, you’re planning to apply to MIT Sloan and the GRE score is: 158-169 GRE Quant Range (middle 80%), then consider the average undergraduate GPA of the 2021 class is 3.6, and your GPA is below that average, you’ll want a GRE score closer to 169. Likewise, if your application falls a bit short in some other area — perhaps your work experience is lacking compared to that of the average admitted student — you’ll want to be at that higher end of the middle 80% (suppose 167). The middle 80% is the range within which the majority of people in a school’s current class scored, with 10% of the class scoring higher than that range and 10% scoring lower.
I.E if you are weak in some aspects of your application you have to compensate with a higher GRE score that will be close to the upper limit of the middle 80% (169) or will be even higher, falling in that 10% above the middle 80% that is: 170.
Use the middle 80% score range as a guide for determining what GRE score you need to earn to be competitive at your target schools.

Thank you very much for the list. It's super helpful for determining my target GRE score.
However, Columbia Business School doesn't reveal its official GRE score anywhere and also not on their website, while it states the acceptance of GRE score.
Is it the sign that Columbia Business School doesn't prefer GRE score?
Regards,
