I am interested in applying to a P/T MBA program.


Does anyone know if admissions are more leniant on lower GMAT scores for P/T applicants because they understand people are holding full time jobs? Or do they require the same GMAT range whether you are applying to a PT or FT program? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks in andvance.

From what I have heard, the GMAT requirement for part time programs are lower and the adcom is pretty lenient with it. This is not because of consideration shown to the candidate as he holds a job, as this is the case with most people who prepare for GMAT, but because the competition for part time programs is considerably lower.

Hi LMK,

Yes, the GMAT scores for PT programs are often lower than FT programs. The school's website will have the average scores for both.
