- The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score, which should be sent directly from the testing service. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not an acceptable substitute for the GMAT. The program director will consider indicators of high promise of success in a postgraduate study of finance from the following, listed in priority order:
- Candidate’s performance on the GMAT. All candidates must sit for the GMAT prior to being admitted to the program, and must achieve a score of 500 or higher on that exam. (If a score of 500 or better is not achieved, the candidate will not be considered for admission into the program.)
- Candidate’s overall or upper-division grade-point average prior to admission to the program, based on the following criteria:
- A total of at least 1150 points on the formula (200 times the overall grade point average plus the GMAT total score).
- A total of at least 1200 points on the formula (200 times the upper-division grade point average plus the GMAT total score).
- Experience as demonstrated by a record of appropriate employment at increasing levels of responsibility.
Applicants whose native language is not English or French must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and have a minimum total score of 550, with part scores of at least 54, reported directly from the testing service.
