DARDEN CONTINUES TEST FLEXIBILITY PILOT

Per an announcement from the school:

As applicants have many different ways to demonstrate academic accomplishment and ability to succeed in the classroom, the school will accept a range of standardized tests (GMAT, GRE, MCAT and LSAT, and the Executive Assessment). Also, as a new offering for the 2020-21 admissions cycle, applicants can request a test waiver.

올해 Darden은 GMAT waiver를 신청할 수 있는 option을 만들었습니다.

모든 지원자에게 가능한 것은 아니고 다음과 같은 criteria를 만족한다면 가능할 수도 있다고 합니다.

analytical한 부분을 굉장히 강조하는 것으로 볼 때, 

수리적 능력은 꼭 GMAT이 아니어도 증명할 수 있다고 나름대로 판단한 것 같습니다.

다만 영어시험은 waiver가 아니니, 꼭 토플이나 다른 영어 시험에서 prove하셔야겠죠. 

특히 Darden도 HBS처럼 case study 100%라서 영어를 잘하는 지원자를 선호하는 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 


DARDEN NOW OFFERS A STANDARDIZED TEST WAIVER. WHO SHOULD CONSIDER SUBMITTING A TEST WAIVER? 

For some candidates, particularly those who meet several of the criteria outlined below, a test score may not be needed for our Admissions Committee to assess their preparedness for Darden. 

Waiver requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and our Admissions Committee will consider a number of factors when evaluating these requests. Particular regard will be given for indicators of academic and professional accomplishment, including but not limited to:

  • A strong undergraduate and/or graduate record, including performance in analytical coursework or disciplines
  • CPA or CFA designation or other professional certification
  • Master’s or advanced degree in an analytical discipline
  • Seven or more years of progressive, professional work experience in an analytical field
  • Strong performance on a U.S. college admissions test (SAT or ACT) or a national exam administered for admission to bachelor’s study in other countries

These factors will be considered in combination with resume and transcripts for all degree-related coursework. Candidates who present a strong profile across several criteria (including supporting materials) are more likely to be granted a test waiver than candidates who meet only one criterion.


Candidates who believe they may qualify for a test waiver on the basis of the above criteria should submit a test waiver request.
