Based on competitor analysis and considering the broader landscape of global business education, RSM has revised the GMAT (Focus Edition) requirement to 565 for the 2025 application season (starting 1 October 2024).
This adjustment ensures we remain competitive and inclusive, particularly given the current shifts in applicant demographics and the introduction of the new GMAT. This score aligns with our goal of attracting applicants in the upper percentile ranges, adjusted for the new scoring metrics of the GMAT test.
What should applicants know about the transition to the new GMAT score requirement?
During this transition period, RSM understands that applicants may have questions or concerns about how these changes might affect their candidacy. We are committed to transparency and will continue to monitor developments in standardized testing to ensure our admissions criteria reflect the highest standards of fairness and academic integrity.
We encourage prospective students to reach out to the RSM Admissions Team with any specific inquiries or for further clarification on how these changes might impact their application.
How does RSM ensure fairness with the new scoring requirement?
RSM is dedicated to maintaining a rigorous admissions process that fairly assesses the potential of all applicants. By continually revising our GMAT requirements in response to global testing trends and feedback from educational leaders, we ensure that our admissions standards are both challenging and equitable. We are committed to conducting ongoing research to keep our requirements relevant and reflect the qualities needed for success in our programs.
