GMAT now optional for all business master’s programs
The college still accepts but no longer requires GMAT scores for admission into all its master’s programs. Mirroring a trend at academic institutions throughout the country, the college announced in September a move to a GMAT-optional policy that began with applications submitted for spring entry. That deadline passed Oct. 1. The college still requires test scores for doctoral business programs. Students still can submit GMAT or GRE scores to enhance their application, but officials note that any submitted test scores will become part of an application and used in the college’s admission decision.
