What is the average gmat score required for NUS MFin?

Question

S Raghav · Accepted Answer

The average GMAT score required for NUS MFin is generally around 700 on the old GMAT scale, which translates to about 615&ndash;625 on the GMAT Focus Edition. The school clearly states that a score of 700/800 or equivalent GRE is expected, especially if you want to be considered for scholarships or study awards.
That said, admissions don&rsquo;t rely on GMAT alone. Strong academics, relevant work experience, or passing CFA Level 1/2 can balance a slightly lower score. Many admitted students fall in the 680&ndash;710 range, with internationals often needing to be on the higher end to offset visa-related placement challenges. If the target is investment banking or top asset management firms, aiming above the average helps stand out both in admissions and in job applications later.

The tricky part with NUS MFin is that while they don&rsquo;t publish an exact &ldquo;cut-off,&rdquo; the score they expect is higher than most people assume.

A 700 GMAT (about 615+ on GMAT Focus) is the benchmark they mention.
Candidates applying for NUS Study Awards or scholarships almost always need to be at or above this level.
Profiles with CFA progress, strong GPA, or relevant finance internships can get in with slightly lower scores, but internationals usually face stiffer competition and benefit from being above average.
GRE is also accepted, and an equivalent strong quant percentile is expected.
What helps is that the admissions team reviews applications holistically, so if the GMAT is on the edge, other parts of the profile matter even more.

So while 700 is the number you&rsquo;ll keep seeing, competitive applicants aim higher to make their chances safer.

The average GMAT score required for NUS MFin is around 700 on the old scale, which equals roughly 615&ndash;625 on the GMAT Focus Edition. NUS specifically mentions that applicants should target this range or higher, especially if aiming for scholarships or study awards.
While there&rsquo;s no strict minimum cutoff, most successful candidates score close to 700 with strong Quantitative performance. NUS looks for applicants who can handle the program&rsquo;s heavy analytical workload, so solid math or finance backgrounds also matter. For Indian applicants, a GMAT above 710 can help stand out in a highly competitive pool.
