Extracted Content: Two more highly prominent business schools have announced test-optional policies for the 2020-2021 MBA admissions cycle with a third school now opening the door to the shorter Executive Assessment as an alternative to either the GMAT or GRE exam.
The full-time MBA program at the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business will pilot a GMAT/GRE test-optional admission process for fall 2021 enrollment, while the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business is offering a flexible test waiver program for both full-time and part-time MBA applications. Meantime, Vanderbilt University’s Owen Graduate School of Management will begin accepting the Executive Assessment test, originally created for applicants to Executive MBA programs, for its full-time MBA. Both Columbia Business School and New York University’s Stern School of Business also accept an EA in lieu of the GMAT or GRE for full-time MBA admissions.
