What is the average GMAT score of Mannheim management students?

Question

I'm aiming at 700+ GMAT with hope that it's enough for me to guarantee a place at Mannheim this year. Any advice from the alumni?

Hi gerjapa

what program are you applying for?
I have read that the average GMAT score in Mannheim is at around 670.

I am applying for the Master in Management where you have a huge advantage in the application process when you have studied one semester abroad. With a semester abroad even 650 can be enough I think.

Hi Andy,

I'm looking at MMM and MMBR as well. My preference is MMBR cuz it's a better path to a prospective PhD but I don't know, I'll take whatever I can get a place in.

I find myself falling short of many criteria for MMM really, no semester abroad, no practical experience in business (I'm working in academia so only got published papers). I have some volunteer work history but that adds only 2 points. So seriously the GMAT is the only thing now that can help me guarantee a place at Mannheim, and it needs to be much higher than average, which is quite a pressure really.

Hi gerjapa,

I think the MMBR is not as popular/crowded as the MMM so I think your chances are much higher there. 
If you prefer the MMBR I suppose you pursue a career in research?

My focus is more on general management and consulting. 
But anyway it would be great to connect with you if you start studying in Mannheim! :D
Are you from Germany? And are you applying for the English only track of the program or the German track?

If I don´t get accepted this year, I will start working for Ernst & Young in the auditing and assurance service line. I already got a job offer there. 
If that happens I will apply again next year.

regards,
Andy

The average GMAT score in the MMM is 680. It might be easier to get into the MMBR, because it is a new program and there will be not as many applicants as for the MMM.

gerjapa · Answer

Sure, if I end up in Mannheim, let's get connected once we're both there.

Yes, I'm looking at a more research-oriented career, that's probably why I have been advised that MMBR is a better choice for me. But I'll take whatever I can get (the MMBR has a higher GMAT requirement).

And no I'm not German. I'm applying for the full English track. I'm learning German as well but won't be competent enough for education.

gerjapa · Answer

Man now I'm worried. I got 680 for my first GMAT exam just a few days ago. Not sure what my chances are at all for both MMM and MMBR. The latter might be a new offer, but its GMAT requirement are 30 points higher, which also means a tight ship I'm running.

Score alone isn't sufficient. Profile must be good too. I guess this school asks for international experience as well(remember seeing in their website)
Having said that , yes, 700+ is decent . All the best
