Accurately Predicting Success

For several decades, we have conducted studies to analyze students’ GMAT scores, their undergraduate grade point averages, and their average grades for the mid-point of graduate business school. The goal is to validate the GMAT exam’s accuracy in predicting student success in graduate business programs. Studies have shown that GMAT scores are the best predictor of academic success, especially as students are farther and farther away from their undergraduate (or other graduate) studies.
