GRE score for top MFin programs?
I’m targeting the following universities for Masters in Finance.
HEC Paris ESSEC Bocconi University University of St. Gallen Frankfurt School of Finance ESCP (MiM) INSEAD (MiM) EDHEC
What would a good GRE score for these programs?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, a competitive GRE score for top Master in Finance (MFin) programs like HEC Paris, Bocconi, and St. Gallen would generally align with the expectations of top-tier business schools. While specific GRE cutoffs aren't always disclosed, aiming for a GRE score of 320+ (with a strong Quantitative section, ideally 165 or higher) would position you well for these programs.
For programs like ESSEC, Frankfurt School, ESCP, INSEAD (MiM), and EDHEC, a similar range applies, but some may have slightly more flexibility depending on the overall strength of your profile (e.g., GPA, work experience, internships, etc.).
Remember, these schools also value a well-rounded application, so strong essays, recommendations, and relevant experience can help offset a slightly lower GRE score.
