Profile benchmark
Where your score, your years of work and your age sit against each class.
Module 5, Choosing target schoolsBuilt on my own research into 19 schools: 444 pages of admissions, fees, scholarship and employment data, read on 4 September 2026 and checked twice. Where a school publishes no figure, this tool says so.
Your score and scale
Sets the read
The Focus edition, 205 to 805. The only one you can sit today.
I read it against the same scale only, and never convert it.
You
Optional
Half years are fine.
Six schools publish no age.
Enter a score or your years above and this fills in.
Schools
Sets the sheet
All 19 schools are on the sheet.
Type a school or a country to filter the list. All nineteen start on the sheet.
A number in the score, work and age columns is your gap to their average. Where a school publishes a band instead, the column says whether you sit inside it. A dash is a figure the school does not publish, and it never counts against you.
13 of the 19 schools on the sheet publish a GMAT Focus figure. The rest are read on your years and your age alone.
London Business School calls that band typical, not a middle 80% band.
The sheet
One section per read, one row per school. The rule that decided the read sits under the name.
