I have many years of work experience and I have taken other standardized tests in the past. Why must I take the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) to apply to Wharton?
A3: When you complete your two years in the Wharton MBA for Executives, you are awarded the same Wharton MBA degree received by those who complete Wharton’s traditional full-time program. The curriculum is the same rigorous curriculum required in the traditional MBA program. Because students attend universities and colleges from around the world it is hard to calibrate the grades. The GMAT is the one uniform assessment tool we have to predict academic potential for success in many of the core courses that Wharton requires. We have found that students who don’t do well on the GMAT generally have difficulty with some of the courses that Wharton feels our graduates should master. If you think you may have trouble with the GMAT, we recommend you study one of the review texts available in many bookstores or enroll in a formal GMAT preparation course.
