"The average score is 550 on the GMAT, and the average GPR is 3.0. We also take into consideration a student's foreign language background, business background, work experience and overseas travel. "Some students have no business background and make low scores on the GMAT, but come in and do extremely well in the program," Hudson said. ACCORDING TO the program's admission policies, applicants are not required to have business prerequisite courses, but undergraduate courses in accounting, statistics, quantitative methods or economics will help when admitted to MIBS.
