Columbia EMBA: Ideal EA ScoreMany candidates are nervous about their Executive Assessment (EA) scores because the exam is new and the schools do not publish data on averages. How high is good enough to be competitive at top EMBA programs like Columbia, Booth or Wharton? Is 152 good enough? 155? 150?
We at
MBA Admit.com have had many candidates take the test now, and the vast majority of scores we have seen in the current 2018-2019 cycle have been between 152-155. The standout scores have been 160 or above. This can give you a sense of things.
Very competitive schools will want to see a strong quant performance. At Wharton, this means a quant score of 12. At other schools, a quant score of 10 or 11 can be satisfying.
What Executive Assessment score puts you in the danger zone for a rejection based on the score? At Wharton, a 152 or lower can tilt the scales toward rejection. At other schools, a score below 148 might place you in the danger zone.
There are, of course, exceptions in all cases, and students can often override a less-than-ideal score if their other qualifications are outstanding and well-presented in their applications. In cases where you have a less-than-ideal score, take notable efforts to highlight in your application other solid metrics you can offer to demonstrate what the admissions committees refer to as “quantitative readiness.”
