GMAT alternative admission test


Posted Sep 01, 2014 14:16

Hello everyone,
As part of the exhausting MBA pursuit, I am focusing on Europe and Spain so naturally my eyes are fixed upon HEC, IESE, IE and ESADE. I have heard that some Business schools actually allow GMAT alternatives or internal own admission tests, is it true? If yes in what conditions? and most important which schools offer such an option if any.
Thanks ahead,
Urika

Some do, yes, and for candidates who are interested in only one school which does offer one of these admissions tests, it's not a bad option.

But the reason the GMAT is so widely taken is that it's accepted at nearly every business school in the world. So you just take one test and then send the scores to the schools you want to apply to. Makes it much easier for applicants who want to hedge their bets by applying to two or more schools.

Thanks, do you know if any of these Uni's:
HEC, IESE, IE or ESADE offer such own admission test?
I know IE did (hope they still do) but what about other top schools in Europe?

I'm sure that this information is available on the schools' application webpages, no?

IE does. So does ESADE. Don't think the others do though.
