Quant 49 sufficient for top European MS programmes? [#permalink] New post   13 Nov 2018, 10:07
Hey guys,
just completed my gmat a few days ago and scored 760 (Q49/V44). While I am happy about the overall score, I am wondering whether my Quant score might actually deny me access to some MSc programmes. For, instance, Oxford/Said's MSc in Financial Economics demands a 90th percentile (which corresponds to a 51/51 in Quant(?!)).
Does anyone know more about schools' prerequisites or preferences in regard to Quant scores?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not in a position to tell you whether 49 is sufficient, but I've looked some top US schools and most of them state 90% in both sections? that would correspond to 51 in quant. I would probably worry about my overall application and any other gaps in my profile. 760 probably corresponds to 99%.

On a side note: refer to this link https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat/after-th ... king-means

It will probably give you some insight on the scores.

All the best

Hello Ghandi

Interesting nick.

Yes you will be able to get admitted at any top EU MS business program.

You didn't precise which specialization you want to pursue on master, but I will assume and work with Finance data as most quant intensive and demanding prerequisites.

For mentioned Said master program, average GMAT score of admitted students is actually 743.

https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/programmes/msc ... -economics

Not to repeat myself, here are some of my latest post on same subject, where I present various average GMAT scores and profile evaluation for numerous MS in Finance programs across Europe :

LBS MFA average GMAT score is 708

HEC MIF median GMAT is 710

Imperial MIF want 650 or higher :)

St Gallen Banking and Finance (MBF) want minimum of 680, Quantitative Economics and Finance (MiQE/F) would like to see minimum of 650.

You can check my other posts related to same question and find even more insights.


Bottom line, you are fine your overall GMAT score is top one :thumbup: and you don't need to worry much about it, just focus on other aspects of your application.



Good Luck ! :cool:
