The range speaks
for itself.

GMAT score range

625 — 705

Strong representation in the 655–705 band

GRE score range

280 — 334

Real high performers at the top end

Undergraduate GPA range (4.0 scale)

2.8 — 4.0

Majority cluster in the 3.3–3.7 band — the real M7 applicant range

A few profiles that
tell the story.

A cofounder with a multimillion-dollar raise and a current VC fellowship — still doing the program alongside everyone else.

Because ambition isn’t a reason to skip the fundamentals.

🧭

A candidate applying from sub-Saharan Africa, targeting HBS, Stanford, Wharton, and MIT — with the GRE score to back it up.

Geography is not destiny.

📐

A candidate who has already cleared 700+ on the GMAT and is now here, ready to build real MBA application strategy.

A strong test score is the beginning of the work, not the end of it.

🏛

A candidate heading to MBB first — and then founding an executive search firm built around inclusive, high-performing leadership, with a focus on women.

The short game and the long game, thought through.

My MBA Path’s Manifesto

“My services are paid.
