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.

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.

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

There is no minimum GRE score. Our incoming students usually score above the 75th percentile in all areas.

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.

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.

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.

In general, we require a score of 90% or higher on the analytical section of the GMAT or the analytical and quantitative section of the GRE. It is very rare that an applicant with a score below 85% is accepted, unless there are very strong counter-balancing factors, such as an outstanding undergraduate academic performance, or compelling evidence of extenuating circumstances.

We don't require a specific score. The average GPA of the full-time master's students entering is approximately 3.3. The middle 80% of GMAT and GRE (average of three sections) scores are in the 510-660 range.

Though most admitted students have GMAT or GRE scores above the 95 percentile, no minimum is mandatory. Test scores are just one of many acceptance criteria. Overall, we aim to assess a prospective student's fit with the program.

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.

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.

Test requirements for each graduate program are different. Go to the Graduate Programs Web site and click on your program for testing requirements.

The MSF program seeks students with strong quantitative skills, which can more easily be assessed with a GMAT or GRE score. The majority of applicants submit a GMAT score. The average GMAT score for an admitted student in 2007 was 663.

No, we do not specify a minimum GMAT score - it is just one of the many criteria we consider in the selection process. However, the majority of our students have a score above 580, and the average for this year's class is 680.

There is no minimum requirement - a high score does not guarantee admission and a lower score does not necessarily eliminate an applicant. The average score is 680, with 80% being between 610 - 750.

There is no minimum GMAT score cutoff. An index comprised of the GMAT score and undergraduate GPA is used as a guideline for admission decisions.

When assessing the GMAT score, we take into account the background of the applicant. Because of the enormous diversity in the class, we expect variation in GMAT scores, and never view the GMAT in isolation. It is one of many criteria we use to assess applicants: a high GMAT score does not guarantee admission, and a low score does not necessarily eliminate an applicant.

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.

No minimum score has been set. Offers of admission, however, are based on merit and evaluation of the applicant's potential for academic success. Standardized test scores, therefore, are considered carefully and are an important element of the admissions process. In order to qualify for on-campus housing you must be a matriculated student. However, on-campus housing is very limited and is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

When should I apply? The deadline for fall admission is May 15, but we start admitting students early in February. Applications that are received after we have started the admission process have a reduced chance of admission because there will be fewer open positions remaining. For fall applicants, we recommend that the application be mailed no later than mid-January in order to have the best chance of admission. The answer to both questions is yes.

No minimum score is required. The admissions committee is looking for applicants who demonstrate that they can handle graduate level coursework and who will excel in the professional world of public service. Applicants can show evidence of their academic abilities through their undergraduate record, any relevant graduate level courses they've taken, and the GRE. [up]
