Top MBA Programs by GMAT Score Sending

Never have prospective business school students had so many high-quality MBA programs to choose from around the world. To serve as a starting point for your program search, mba.com has compiled this list of the top MBA programs from the last year to give you a sense of what the most popular MBA programs are among GMAT™ exam test takers.

Is this another MBA ranking? MBA rankings—like those published annually by The Financial Times, U.S. News and World Report, The Economist, and others—have their own unique methodologies with which they pronounce which are the “best” MBA programs. This list from mba.com is not a ranking in that sense. It is a list ordered simply by the number of unique individuals who sent a GMAT score report to a program in the last testing year (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021). Where a program falls on the list is not a reflection or judgment of quality—it’s merely one data-based measure of its popularity with prospective students.

Despite what MBA rankings may lead you to believe, there is no one best MBA program—there’s only the best MBA program for you. Use this list as a starting point to your search for your best fit programs.
