A “good” GMAT score is only relative to the MBA of Masters programmes applied for! Through research needs to be done on the schools the candidate aims for and realistic goals need to be set based on the average scores accepted by those programmes. Top tier schools will usually be looking for a score in the 90th percentile or above. However, overall profile also plays a vital role in selection.
