The Admissions Process 45
46 Your Future Awaits Every year, we have the privilege and responsibility of reviewing hundreds of applications for admission. Because of our relatively small, team-based program, we consider candidates as individuals and as contributors to the Merage School community – both inside and outside the classroom. We welcome applicants from a wide variety of undergraduate disciplines, and every student’s learning experience is enhanced by the diversity of educational backgrounds in the classroom. More specifically, we evaluate each candidate’s quantitative and qualitative abilities as we seek individuals whose goals and aspirations are aligned with what the Merage School MBA offers. We admit those professionals who exhibit the strongest potential to become successful members of the Merage School network and outstanding global business leaders. Quantitative Measures UNDERGRADUATE GPA Applicants must hold the equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s and provide official transcripts from an accredited college or university. All transcripts including transfer units are also required. GRADUATE MANAGEMENT ADMISSION TEST (GMAT) Required for all FEMBA candidates (candidates who hold a PhD in a quantitative subject may be eligible to have this requirement waived). To schedule the GMAT visit www.mba.com. TEST OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (TOEFL) May be required if the language of instruction in the country of your undergraduate study is not in English. Please consult with the program office for specific details.
