Dear All,
I will most probably take the GMAT next January or February 2021. However, I am not sure where to take it.
To explain the situation: I am a French national, currently working in China.
Thus, I was initially thinking of taking the GMAT in China... However, I know that the GMAT average score in China is quite high v. other regions of the world.
That is why, I was thinking of going back to France to take the GMAT, where the GMAT average score is lower v. China.
I have asked around me and my friends told me that the location where you take the GMAT (country) doesn't change anything.
However, the nationality does...
For instance, a 730 scored by an European (a French for example) is considered quite high v. a 730 scored by a Chinese is considered average / average - by some business schools.
Thus, if I take my test in China as a French national and I send my test scores to some B-schools, the location wouldn't matter, correct?
Thanks for your answer!

Hi DK91,
You pose an interesting question. I have to assume that Admissions Committee members understand that who you as an overall Applicant might not have anything to do with the physical location in which you took the GMAT - meaning that it might not matter at all where you take your Test. That having been said, you're ultimately asking an Admissions question though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about this issue - as well as your overall profile and plans. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

DK91 - Your question is sweet. Yes, location does not matter. You should understand why the average GMAT score of Chinese and Indian students is higher than in other geographics. It is because the academic curriculum (especially quant) in these countries is high, making it easier for students to score higher on tests such as GMAT and GRE. Therefore, your overall profile will be judged like that of any other European. Your work experience in mainland China will NOT impact while judging your raw stats: academic credentials, GMAT score, TOEFL, etc. All the best.
