Is that a sigh of relief we heard from MBA aspirants? Several top-ranked schools in the US have waived the hitherto mandatory GMAT/GRE scores for admission into graduate programs.
At least sixty-four schools among the top one hundred have made the tests optional while pushing for the test waiver. Admission officials have assured aspirants that the call to waive admission tests does not reduce the standard of admission. Admission procedures now include gauging the candidates’ confidence levels and academic acumen to take the program.
