Question

Ruchika C · Accepted Answer

Yes, admission to NYU Stern MIM is possible with a low GMAT. The average is around 680, but admits with low 600s have been seen.
Strong academics, good internships, and clear career goals can offset a lower score. A case from an official NYU webinar showed a student with a GMAT near 620 got in due to a solid GPA and international experience.
Stern also accepts GRE and offers test waivers for strong academic records. So, a low GMAT isn&rsquo;t the end&mdash;what matters is how the full profile fits.

NYU Stern MIM doesn&rsquo;t set a strict GMAT cutoff. A lower score can still work, especially if the rest of the profile shows strong academic ability and career clarity.
The program also allows GMAT/GRE waivers for candidates with solid undergraduate performance, particularly in quantitative subjects.
Recent class profiles show a mix of backgrounds&mdash;engineering, economics, business&mdash;with test scores ranging from the mid-600s upward. A strong GPA or standout internship can carry more weight than a high GMAT alone.
In short, a low GMAT won&rsquo;t block admission if the rest of the application makes a strong case.
