Extracted Content: Schools across the country began waiving test requirements for the fall semester as the coronavirus pandemic closed centers where students take the GMAT, the standardized test required for most graduate business and management programs.
In recent weeks, a growing list of M.B.A. programs, including the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business and the Wisconsin School of Business, said they plan to extend their test-optional format to the 2021 admissions cycle. Several other M.B.A. programs say they are considering a similar move, citing challenges students continue to face despite the exam moving online. Schools also say the test-optional format enables them to recruit from a broader pool of applicants.
