Is 640 GMAT score okay for Europe or Canada MBA?

Yes, a 640 GMAT Focus Edition score can work for many MBA programs in Europe and Canada, but it depends on the school. In general, European programs tend to be slightly more flexible on GMAT compared to top U.S. schools.

Here are a few examples:

• Rotterdam School of Management (Netherlands): Average score around 640–660. A 640 is competitive here, especially if your profile is strong.
• ESCP Business School (France): This school regularly accepts candidates with scores in the 620–640 range.
• Schulich School of Business (Canada): Average GMAT Focus scores sit around 635–650, and they consider profiles holistically.
• McGill Desautels (Canada): A 640 is very much within range, especially if you have good work experience or a strong academic background.

That said, for schools like HEC Paris or Rotman (University of Toronto), the bar is higher—typically 660+ is safer. But with a solid profile, good essays, and strong academics, 640 is a decent score for several mid- to high-tier MBA programs.
