GMAT Geographic Trend Report for Testing Year 2023

The GMAT Geographic Trend Report for Testing Year 2023 is a technical report produced by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). It presents mobility trends in the graduate management education candidate pipeline based on data collected from examinees who took the GMAT from 2019 to 2023. The report analyzes both absolute and relative changes in GMAT score-sending data, providing insights into geographic program preferences among examinees. Key findings indicate a significant decline in unique candidates and exams taken compared to previous years, largely attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report also highlights shifts in score-sending patterns, with an increase in the proportion of exams taken by candidates from Central and South Asia and a decrease among U.S. citizens. Additionally, it outlines trends in gender representation among examinees and the distribution of score reports sent to various programs worldwide. The report is intended for school professionals at GMAT score-accepting institutions.
