Wharton Class of 2023 Profile
Average GMAT: 733
Average GRE: 324 (162, 162)
Average GPA: 3.6 (US Only)
PHILADELPHIA, July 28, 2021—The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania today announced that, for the first time in its 140-year history, women will comprise more than 50% of the incoming first year class of MBA students. At nearly 52%, the percentage of women in the Wharton MBA Class of 2023 represents a 10% increase in female students over last year’s first year students. These achievements are the result of a years-long effort to promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) throughout Wharton which today is led by Deputy Dean Nancy Rothbard and Dean Erika James, who is the first woman ever appointed to lead the School.

This is pretty historic....
Looking at the number of women and men who take the GMAT, in 2016 - 45% of the tests taken were by women while in 2020, that number has gone up to 47% so it has grown to almost a 50% parameter.
However, I dug in more into the GMAC's data to see the real representation of Men vs. Women in terms of applications:
Male Applicants in 2019 - 2020:
Tests taken: 93,425
GMAT Scores Sent to MBA Programs: 135,050
Female Applicants:
Tests taken: 79,653
GMAT Scores Sent to MBA Programs: 69,617
There are twice as many Males applying to BSchools as Females! That means purely mathematically and statistically, chances are 2x for women. The reason is that while women took 47% of the GMAT tests, they sent half of those to non-MBA programs while men sent only 33% to non-MBA programs. It seems to be that the 50/50 ratio is not representative of the intent or competition. There is a clear picture of less intent and less competition among women. I am not sure if the % of incoming class should be based on the population averages or the intent 🤷♂️

While there can certainly many points of view about politics and optics of such statistics, a hard data point caught my eye.
The one thing we all love to discuss here: the GMAT.
Class of '22
Average GMAT: 722
Median GMAT: 730
Class of '23
Average GMAT: 733
Median GMAT: 740
While there are a number of factors which could have affected this (International deferrals from typically high-GMAT countries like India, China etc.), I'd love to know what some of the more seasoned members have to say about this.
