I can tell you one school (in Mississippi) that uses a formula to determine admission. William Carey University is a fully accredited private college that doesn't require a minimum GPA or GMAT score in order to get accepted into their MBA program. The formula they use is below: (GPA x 200) + GMAT Score + (10 x Years of Managerial Experience) Scores of 850-999 are accepted (with satisfactory application packet material) on probationary status. You must achieve a B or higher on the first six hours in order to gain regular admission status. Scores of 1000+ are accepted (with satisfactory application packet material) on regular status. This school use the trimester system, therefore, if you have a bachelors is a business related field, you can finish the program in one year. There are a few online schools who do not set a minimum, but it's hard to find a reputable one. A great one that I've found is Florida Institute of Technology. It is a fully accredited brick-and-mortar college that have some fully online degree programs. Tuition is rather expensive ($2,000+ per class).

Well I had a rather low GMAT score but my scholastic career proves that I am very much capable. One thing that graduate schools forget to realize is that the statistics that are used to determine the probability of succession based on GMAT scores do not work for every individual. Many universities have lost great potential students because they relied on GMAT scores too heavily. But, to answer your question, in order to overcome a low GMAT score when applying to an MBA program, you must highly excel in every other aspect of the application packet. Most graduate schools require an essay or statement of purpose. This is your time to shine and prove to the admission committee that you are fully capable to excel in a graduate program. I applied to 3 business schools and neither had a set minimum. They use every aspect of the application packet to determine whether a student is capable of excelling in a graduate program. Between 400-600 is the range that most people make. Each individual school has their own requirements. Some require a minimum score, and others don't. Good luck...
