I’ve been writing about the Wake Forest Masters in Management Program for over a decade now and it is one of the earlier programs offering this specialized masters degree. They have done a good job over the years of evolving and continually offering students a good experience and value. Last time I checked in on this program was about 9 months ago and there have been some good updates that I think all of you might be interested in. Enjoy!
Class Profile
Wake Forest is proving an average class profile over the last there years. I think this is helpful as it evens things out and still gives you a solid directional look at the type of students they accept and class they create.
- Class Size – 86 Students
- Average GMAT – 658
- Average GRE – 311
- Male / Female – 45% / 55%
- Colleges/Universities Represented – 48
This is a larger class, but they are still able to maintain a competitive GMAT. The number of colleges represented is high, indicating that this isn’t just a program full of Wake Forest undergraduates. I think have a mix of students from different schools gives you a lot of different perspectives and interesting classmates so I am glad to see this.

That is the update for now. Plenty of time to get your application in for the Wake Forest program. The cost is reasonable and the placements look very strong. Charlotte is an amazing place to start a career and being so close to the city allows for plenty of networking opportunities.
