The University of St. Gallen MiM does weigh a test score (admitted students fall in the
650–740 range) — but if a test-free route matters, 64 of
103 MiMs we track (about 62%) 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.
Frequently asked questions
What does the FT number-one ranking actually measure?
The Financial Times Masters in Management ranking weights three-year-post-graduation salary, career progression, international experience, faculty research, and a battery of school-reported metrics. St. Gallen has placed 1st in 14 of the last 15 rankings — the most consistent top finish of any school globally. The combination of small cohort size, strong careers outcomes, and high international exposure drives the score.
