No. For consistency in evaluating applicants, we use only the GMAT. The GMAT is the exam designed to measure success in graduate management programs.

The GMAT must be taken within five years of our receipt of your application. If your GMAT score is older than five years you should plan to retake the test.

• Are applicants to the MBA Program required to interview?

Yes, applicants are required to interview, however, they are by invitation only. If you are selected for an interview, an admissions representative will contact you to schedule. Interviews give you a chance to emphasize your interest in the MBA program and discuss the contributions you believe you can make to classroom and group discussions. Interviews also provide an opportunity for you to get a better feel for the MBA program and how it may help you achieve your goals.
