paulaner Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hi! What's the minimum GMAT score to be considered for a Top-10 PhD program in Accounting at a business school? What about a Top-20 school? What's more important, Quantitative or Verbal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrategicMGMT Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Quantitative is more important and at top-10 there is a lot of randomness even if you had a 750 score. 700 minimum but I'd guess these days they probably expect even higher (720+).

Do you think a score of 700 will be a deal-breaker for some top schools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrazilianPhD Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Top 20 are always very hard to tell. Extremely competitive, but also sometimes the schools are willing to take the risk. I don't recommend targeting only top 20 even if your profile looks perfect. A score of 700 probably isn't impressive even for top 50. Schools should get several applications with scores higher than that, so it certainly can be a deal breaker. You will be compared to other applicants after all. That being said, if that score of 700 includes a perfect quant score, then it's less of an issue because the quantitative score is the main concern for accounting. There is often a big difference between the minimum to be considered and what it takes to be accepted. The goal is usually to stand out among a very strong set of applicants, and not to meet minimum requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaSvoboden Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Honestly, below 700 will be a problem at a lot of schools. If your are thinking top 10, I would put that number at more like 750. Quant is more important, but both have to be very good to get a score that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
