Why is the GMAT an Important Admissions Requirement for Executive MBA Programs?


bishop lanePeggy Bishop Lane
Vice Dean,Wharton MBA Program for Executives
University of Pennsylvania, The Wharton School

The GMAT is an important admissions requirement for several reasons.

At Wharton, EMBA students receive the same education as our full-time MBA students. This has been a principle of parity between our full-time and EMBA program since our EMBA program began 37 years ago.  They are taught the same classes by the same professors for the same number of hours.   Likewise, since we insist on the highest academic caliber of the students we admit, they are held to the same standards of performance and intellectual rigor.  They must have the same profile as our full-time MBA students with respect to admissions criteria and academic preparedness.
