GMAT Information

To help ensure your success in Barry's MBA program, we strongly encourage all applicants to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). We use a portfolio approach to determine admission. Our admission requirements are designed to access your potential for success in graduate business studies. One predictor of achievement is a satisfactory score on the Graduate Management Aptitude Test, better known as the GMAT.

What is the GMAT? The GMAT is a basic aptitude examination; it does not require previous knowledge of business subjects. It is offered multiple times annually throughout the United States as well as internationally.

Want to do your best? Preparation for the GMAT exam can help you achieve higher scores. To make your preparation as easy as possible, we offer a GMAT Prep course every term. If taking the prep course at Barry is not convenient for you, you can take a prep class through other venues.

How do you get an application? You can register online at www.mba.com or call 1-800-GMAT NOW. You can also request an application from the Barry Graduate Admissions Offices or contact the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J. 08541. Please be sure to plan ahead and schedule a timely GMAT exam date as the availability of seats for the desirable dates is limited.

Have you taken the GRE, MCAT or LSAT? If you have taken the GRE, MCAT, or LSAT within the last five years, you may petition the Director of Graduate Business Programs to have those scores considered instead of the GMAT. (Please note: If you are an international student and cannot exhibit proficiency in the English language, you will need to submit a TOEFL score of at least 550 (213 – computer-based exam) in addition to an acceptable GMAT score.)

Don’t delay! Seats for exams on desirable dates are limited, so we strongly encourage you to plan ahead and schedule a GMAT exam date.
