More than 360,000 individuals take the GRE test each year, with a continually increasing number of test takers indicating business as their intended graduate major field. Ensure they consider your program by clearly communicating your no-preference admissions policy.\r\n
Even though most business schools have been accepting GRE scores for over a decade, and research shows that they treat applicants equitably regardless of which test they take, there is a persistent myth that schools prefer GMAT® scores. Making small changes to the language on your website, in your application instructions and in your marketing materials could make all the difference.

Put yourself in the mindset of a prospective applicant; then review your website, brochures, view books, presentations, emails and other communications, as well as the instructions within the application portal, for subtle cues that you prefer one test over another. Check that you are clearly and consistently conveying that your program welcomes GRE scores AND that all applicants are treated equally, regardless of the test they choose to take. Make sure the GRE test isn’t treated as an afterthought, such as “Submit your GMAT scores (GRE scores are also acceptable).”
