Can I get into Wharton MBA with low GMAT Score?

Yes, it's possible — but a low GMAT score at Wharton definitely means the rest of your application needs to stand out. For context, the average GMAT score for the Class of 2026 was 732 (from the old format), which is roughly in the 95–99 percentile under the new GMAT Focus Edition.

That said, Wharton doesn’t have a fixed minimum. If your score is below average, but you bring something unique — like strong leadership roles, a solid career track, or impact in a niche industry — you can still be considered. Also, applicants with lower scores who nailed their essays and had strong recommendations have made it in before. So don’t count yourself out, but do focus on making everything else bulletproof.
