- Most successful admits have GMAT Focus scores between 630 and 665, especially if they’re targeting finance or consulting tracks.
- The school doesn’t publish an official average, but competitive Indian applicants often aim for 640+ to feel safe.
- If you’re from a lesser-known undergrad college or have an average GPA, a strong GMAT can help balance the profile.

The average GMAT score for EDHEC MiM applicants typically falls in the 640–660 range, based on recent admit profiles.
While EDHEC doesn’t officially publish a fixed average, competitive applicants — especially for the Business Management track — usually submit GMAT Focus scores that translate to around 640+. A 625+ is considered decent, but applicants with lower scores often compensate with strong academics, internships, or a clear motivation letter.
It’s worth noting that the GMAT isn’t mandatory for all applicants, but including a solid score can significantly boost chances, especially if your undergrad grades or college brand aren’t particularly strong. For finance-focused students or international applicants targeting roles outside France, a higher GMAT Focus score also strengthens placement prospects.
