Vlerick takes a test-flexible approach for the MIMS: applicants must submit a score from one of three accepted tests — the GMAT (minimum 555; or 655 GMAT Focus for scholarship consideration), GRE (minimum 157V/158Q), or Vlerick's own online analytical admissions test — but the choice is entirely the applicant's. The GMAT is not required, and Vlerick's in-house test provides a free path for applicants who prefer not to sit an external exam. Vlerick does not publish a class average.
Vlerick Business School does not publish a GMAT range.

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
Do you need a GMAT for the Vlerick MIMS?
No — Vlerick is test-flexible. Applicants must submit a score from one of three tests: GMAT (minimum 555), GRE (minimum 157V/158Q), or Vlerick's own free online analytical admissions test. This makes the GMAT entirely optional — applicants who prefer not to sit an external exam can use the in-house test instead. A GMAT Focus score of 655+ strengthens scholarship applications.
