Is 620 considered a good GMAT score?

Question

Mohit C · Accepted Answer

You might feel unsure about a 620, but it really depends on where you're applying and what the rest of your profile looks like.
For top MBA programs, the average GMAT scores are usually in the 700+ range. But that doesn't mean 620 is a bad score. Some schools accept scores in this range, especially if you bring strong work experience, a solid GPA, and clear goals. Schools don&rsquo;t just admit scores they admit people with purpose.
Also, if you&rsquo;re targeting schools where the average GMAT is closer to 630&ndash;670, a 620 puts you in range. Just make sure the rest of your application  like your essays and recommendations  tell your story well and show what makes you stand out.
So no, 620 isn&rsquo;t the top of the scale, but it can still be a strong score , depending on the full picture you present.

A 620 isn&rsquo;t a bad score, but whether it&rsquo;s &ldquo;good&rdquo; really depends on where you&rsquo;re applying. For top 10 MBA programs, the average GMAT is usually around 700 or higher &mdash; so 620 might be considered low there. But for many good B-schools ranked between 30&ndash;80, a 620 can still keep you in the game.
What matters most is how strong the rest of your profile is. If you&rsquo;ve got great work experience, solid goals, and strong essays or recommendations, a 620 won&rsquo;t stop you. Many schools take a holistic view and care more about who you are and what you bring to the table.
You can also explain your score if you had personal challenges, or even show improvement in other areas like Quant through certifications. So don&rsquo;t think of 620 as a blocker  just be smart with your school selection and highlight your strengths.
