What Is a Good GRE Score for an MBA in the USA in 2025?


 Thinking about applying to a U.S. MBA program and wondering what GRE score you need? While there’s no fixed minimum score that guarantees an admit, looking at typical ranges can help you set a strong target.

Here’s a breakdown:

  • For top 10 MBA programs, competitive GRE scores tend to be 325 +.

  • For top 20–30 MBA programs, a range around 315–325 is often seen.

  • For many mid-tier programs, scores in the 305–315 range may be acceptable though you’ll still want strengths in other parts of your application.

Key take-aways:

  • Quant score matters a lot, especially for international applicants and those from analytical backgrounds—aiming for 160+ in Quant is smart.

  • GRE is just one part of your profile work experience, leadership, essays, fit, and recommendations matter too.

  • If your score is a bit below top ranges, you can still be competitive if you bring exceptional strengths elsewhere.
