GRE: Varies by program. If there is a minimum score required, it would be listed in the catalog under each program's admission requirements. MAT: Only good for the master's in Counseling and doctoral in Nursing; no minimum score has been set.

Students have the option of retaking the GRE/MAT or pass a written essay. Students may schedule to write the essay with the Department Secretary. If the essay is not passed, a referral is made to the Gene Elrod Success Center for completion of the writing tutorial program. Upon completion, the essay is rewritten. If passed, and all other application requirements are adequate, the student is unconditionally admitted.

The UALR School of Social Work does not have a fixed score requirement. In general, a score of 1000 on two sections and 4.5 on the writing sample would be considered competitive for the GRE. A 50th percentile would be considered a competitive score on the MAT. The standardized test is one factor considered as part of your application. You will not be reviewed solely on your ability to take a standardized test. These test scores are most important for students who have low GPAs.

Initially, we advise an international applicant to attach photocopies of his/her score reports with the application, but official reports issued by ETS will be required before full processing of that application will take place. In some instances, the Graduate School will accept certified copies of these reports.

A student's score on the GRE or MAT is used to determine admission. It is best to take one of these tests prior to submitting application so that the score is considered at the time other application materials are reviewed. Although a student may enroll in classes (maximum of six hours) in conditional status, if the MAT/GRE score does not meet the required score for unconditional admission, the student may not continue.

Entrance exams are departmental requirements. Check the catalog or department to see if a test is necessary. These requirements are also outlined in the classified graduate application form.

If a student does not receive the minimum score required on the admission test, they have three (3) options: a) Take the test again. Sometimes, if the score is close and the student feels the low score was due to test anxiety or a bad testing day, this option is the easiest and most convenient. However, this is not the option to choose if the deadline for resolving provisional admission status is near. b) Take the other admissions test. Different people will do well on different tests.

There's no cut-off point. The selection is based on the applicant's general profile and whole academic background. However, scores of 700 upwards for GMAT and 800 for GRE are not uncommon.

Typically, a student needs a minimum overall score of 550 in the GMAT and 550 in each of the three GRE sections. If you do not reach this score, it does not automatically mean that your score is unsatisfactory. For some students, we may consider the scores in the separate sections (Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical Writing) to see whether you need an extra course(s) in English or Mathematics.

No, however admission is competitive and is based on several components of the application including: academic performance, GRE or GMAT scores, personal and professional experience, letters of recommendation, writing sample (for Creative Writing and Publishing & Writing), and potential contribution to the field.

We recommend that you first take a in-class or online preparatory course and then re-take the test. HPAA has a relationship with one provider of preparatory courses, which are offered at substantially lower cost than the major providers. For more information, click here.

No. All candidates are required to submit GMAT scores. We do not accept the GRE for the full-time MBA program; we will consider it, however, for the MS in management.

It's important to remember that GMAT or GRE test scores are only one element of your application, and you should not over-estimate their importance. Nonetheless, we will certainly be looking at the test scores for evidence of strong quantitative skills, given the analytical and quantitative nature of the programme. We understand that non-native English speaking applicants are often at a disadvantage in the verbal tests, and we will interpret the results accordingly.

Only those applying for admission to the MPhil/PhD programmes in the School of Business are required to send the official score report of GRE or GMAT, taken within five years. (Institution code: GRE - 2482; GMAT - FS2-WL-48) Those applying for admission to the MPhil/PhD programmes in the Department of Psychology whose first degree is not in Psychology are required to send the official score report of GRE Subject Test in Psychology, taken within five years. (Institution code: GRE - 2482)

It will be at the School's discretion to proceed to the interview stage if you have not submitted a GRE or GMAT score.

Not technically. It is expected though that the candidates would have a GMAT score of 600 or better going by our experience with PGP-PMP 07-08. For CAT, however, there is a minimum score of 85+. The best score in previous three CATs would be used. The equivalent performance on the IIMA's specially designed test would be determined by the Admissions Committee for short-listing and application rating. The IIMA's specially designed test is very similar to GMAT.

There is no minimum. However, candidates are expected to have had a good academic record. Those taking the CAT route may note that there is a 50% requirement in graduation for CAT.

Some programs require test scores and some do not. Some will accept either the GRE or MAT exam scores and some will only accept GRE scores. To make sure you have the correct scores check the requirements for the program that you want to apply to.

The master's degree in Clinical Research is a part-time degree designed to supplement one's training, education and experience. At present, formal training in clinical research methodology is limited and typically not a requirement of traditional graduate study for healthcare professionals. As a result, most academic scientists, as well as researchers increasingly found in a non-academic environment, lack sophistication in clinical research protocol and patient-oriented therapeutics.

No, we have mats for beginners to use. However, we request that regular students buy and bring their own mat.

If you have a recent GMAT score, please submit it with your application. Once the admissions panel has looked at your application we may advise you that a GMAT score is required. For the MSc in Finance and the MSc in International Accounting and Finance, applicants are strongly encouraged to provide GMAT.

Over the past three years, the average score of successful applicants on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score was higher than 630.

For international students, the TOEFL exam is required and must have a computer based score of 173 or higher,a paper based score of 500 or higher, or an internet based score of 90 or higher.

General guidelines of scores for previously admitted students can be found in the information included with those programs that require the exam as part of the admissions process.
