The COVID-19 pandemic upended the business school admissions process in the spring. With lockdowns in place and testing centers closed, completing those standardized tests for business school became impossible.
Therefore, some MBA programs announced they would not require standardized tests for business school admission for the 2020-2021 cycle. One such school, MIT’s Sloan School of Management, made the decision to provide a “level playing field” for all applicants, no matter how this pandemic has affected their lives.
Meanwhile, the UV Darden School of Business also decided to pilot test waiver requests this year. “Standardized tests have always been just one indication of a student’s ability to succeed at Darden,” said Dawna Clarke, executive director of admissions.
