What GMAT score is needed for Harvard?

Harvard Business School doesn’t set a minimum GMAT score, but their latest class profile shows a median of 740, with a middle 80% range from 700 to 770. That means most admitted students fall within this bracket, and it’s rare to see admits with scores below 700—especially from competitive applicant pools.

That said, HBS considers more than just test scores. If your undergrad GPA, leadership experience, and career progression are impressive, you can still be a strong candidate with a score in the low 700s. But to stay on the safe side, aiming for 730+ is ideal.
