College
Admission Requirement

Entrance
Requirement: Applicants must have bachelor’s degree or equivalent.

Test Requirement:

There’s
no cut-off point for either exam and there is a wide range for accepted
scores. Our selection of applicants is based on the applicant’s general
profile and overall academic background, and test scores are only one
component of the many factors considered. Perfect scores do not guarantee
admission and lower than average scores will not invalidate your
candidacy. However, scores of 700 upwards for GMAT and quantitative scores
of 163 for GRE are not uncommon.
As a
general tip, you should aim to score 80% or higher in your quantitative
and verbal sections to be highly competitive. Some areas focus more on the
quantitative rather than verbal, but across areas, 80% or higher is a good
benchmark for what is considered to be a competitive score by the
committee.
