What is a good GMAT score for UNC Kenan MBA?

Short Answer – The average GMAT score at UNC Kenan is 710 for the last entering class. If you score above 710, you have a fair shot and you will receive an encouraging response to your profile evaluation from the admission committee. 

Long Answer – There is no such thing as a safe score, higher is always better. In our years of consulting experience, we have seen our clients with 640 getting selected into top schools like INSEAD and on the other hand, someone with a 770 getting rejected too. A good benchmark that we advise all our clients to beat is the average GMAT score of the last entering class as mentioned in the Class profile published every year. Scoring above the average gets you a fair shot; 

“The higher your score, the better is it for your interview or admission chance.” 

If you plan to apply with a score that is below the average, then you are starting a fight with one hand tied behind your back or, let’s say, you are starting a few yards behind your competitors. You can definitely catch up in other sections of the application by writing outstanding essays or performing really well in an interview later. But it is always nice to start ahead of the competitor. A higher GMAT score helps one gain a competitive advantage.

“What if you are from the over represented Indian or Asian Pool?”

The over-represented candidate pool of Indian or Chinese applicants usually goes through a rigorous preparation process for GMAT, with a lot of Indian applicants scoring quite high. Hence, the overall competition and the Average score for this diaspora goes up by a few notches. That is why we recommend candidates within the most over-represented profiles to shoot at least 20 points higher than the school’s class profile average.

FAQs about UNC Kenan Flagler

Our students come from many different backgrounds and bring a wide range of experiences, interests, and career aspirations. Our holistic admissions process reviews each applicant’s strengths individually and also considers the overall pool of applicants. Because of these variances, it’s not possible for us to speak to admission chances or provide individual resume reviews. This said, we do offer numerous information sessions on campus, online, and in locations around the globe where you can ask questions of our admissions staff and learn more about the application process.

We prefer applicants to have at least two years of full-time professional work experience. However, we do admit a small number of applicants with less experience; these candidates have demonstrated strong leadership at their undergraduate institution.

Candidates who submit an MBA application will be considered automatically for merit-based fellowships, you don’t need to apply separately. If selected for a fellowship award, you’ll be notified at the time of admission. Approximately 60% of our students receive some fellowship assistance.

Fellowships are awarded for the duration of the 2-year program (as long as fellowship criteria is met), and no new fellowship awards are given to students in the second year of the program.

There are a variety of options that are available to international students. We encourage you to visit the financial aid website for more details of possible programs to research.

 We do not admit a specific number of international or domestic students. We review all complete applications and grant admission accordingly.
