A recent study found that 24% of business schools are now accepting both GMAT & GRE scores, a figure which includes seven of the top ten global MBA programs. And, starting this Fall, the Yale School of Management (SOM) will join those ranks.
Admission Director Bruce DelMonico said that the school will once again be allowing students to submit their GRE scores as part of the MBA application package, and hopes that making this change allow for growth and expaned of diversity in the SOM’s applicant pool.
“Yale exists as a multi-sector school with students from various backgrounds that plan to take on a variety of careers”, DelMonico said. “The GRE is more flexible for students that are thinking about different types of programs and is helpful in attracting the strong, diverse candidates we are interested in”.
Unlike many of the other top B-schools that have started accepting the GRE, Yale had previously accepted the scores for the SOM Masters in Public and Private Management. The MPPM had been offered at the school since it was founded in 1976, however in the mid-nineties the SOM shifted to focus on MBAs and stopped allowing students to submit GRE scores.
