GMAT
You must take the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) to be considered for admission.
The GMAT is a standardized assessment that helps business schools assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management. The Business School uses the test as one predictor of academic performance in the graduate business programs. The average GMAT for admitted students is 560.
Information on taking the GMAT can be obtained by visiting MBA.com. We have compiled more information about the GMAT, and how to prepare to take it.
We will review an application without a GMAT score if you have a previous graduate degree however, if the admissions committee cannot make a decision based on the information available, you will be notified of the need for the GMAT score. We recommend you apply well before the application deadline in the event that you do need to take the GMAT.
We will also review an application with a GRE. We recommend you apply well before the application deadline in the event that you are asked to take the GMAT.
