Extracted Content: With the coronavirus pandemic surging in the U.S., more business schools are moving to test-optional admissions policies for their MBA programs this year. The University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Business, Babson College, Michigan State University’s Broad College of Business, and UC-Irvine’s Merage School of Business are now giving MBA applicants the opportunity to waive the GMAT or GRE in applying to their schools this year.
They join a sizable group of other MBA programs, including MIT Sloan and UVA Darden, that have made standardized tests optional for the current admissions cycle. Other prominent schools that are more generously handing out test waivers include Georgia Tech’s Scheller College of Business, the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business, Rochester’s Simon Business School, the Wisconsin School of Business, Rutgers Business School, and Northeastern University.
