ESCP accepts three different tests, which matters more than the range does. Admitted scores cluster at 620–720 with an average around 660, and alongside the GMAT and GMAT Focus Edition the school accepts the GRE and the TAGE-MAGE — the French-language business admissions test used across the grandes écoles, and a genuine alternative if you are already preparing for French schools, which our TAGE-MAGE explainer walks through. The rest of the file is transcripts, two recommendations, two essays, a CV and a video interview, with a live interview for shortlisted candidates. ESCP admits roughly 1,300 students a year across all campuses and entry routes and publishes no acceptance rate for the international degree track, so the score is one input among several — and motivation for the multi-campus rotation is a recurring interview theme, as our ESCP admission requirements guide explains.
Admitted students at ESCP Business School typically score in the 620–720 GMAT range. The class average is around 660.
| Admitted GMAT range | 620–720 |
|---|---|
| Class average GMAT | 660 |
| Work experience | 0–2 years |
| MiMs we track admitting without a required GMAT/GRE | 75 of 118 |
The ESCP Business School MiM does weigh a test score (admitted students fall in the 620–720 range) — but if a test-free route matters, 75 of 118 MiMs we track (about 64%) admit without a required GMAT or GRE. See every European MiM you can apply to without a GMAT on our MiM without the GMAT shortlist, or read how GMAT waivers work.
Most European MiM programs, including this one, accept the GRE and often the GMAT Focus Edition or a school-specific test as alternatives, and weigh the whole application — academics, internships, essays, and interview — rather than the score alone.

How competitive is admission to the ESCP MiM?

- ESCP — Master in Management (official page). Fees re-read 2026-09-04 and the composition is now on the page rather than only here: tuition €21,500/yr for European students and €25,200/yr for non-European students, plus €2,800/yr of student services in both cases — €24,300 and €28,000 a year respectively, which is exactly the €48,600 / €56,000 two-year totals this profile publishes. Also on the page: a €180 non-refundable application fee, €220 per prerequisite course, €1,000 for each additional ESCP campus degree, and reduced student-service costs of €2,000 for any year beyond the second. CORRECTION 2026-09-04: this profile's body said the application fee was "€120 for non-French candidates"; the page states €180 and draws no nationality distinction, and our own 2026-07-05 reading of the same page already recorded €180 ↗ — ESCP Business School

ALTERNANCE CHECKED 2026-09-07 (P44): both MiM options and their eligibility lists — 24 months across M1+M2 and 12-14 months in M2 alone; 'Be under 30 years of age on the contract start date'; 'Fluent French (B2/C1)'; 'Application form CV + cover letter in French'; 'For international students (from outside the EU): valid residence permit or receipt of official application'; and the sign-by dates of 15 October (24-month) and 15 June (M2), after which 'they will join the classic MiM on one of the ESCP campuses depending on the number of places available'.
