Now, More than 5,000 Programmes to Accept GMAT

The number of programmes accepting GMAT scores has increased from 3,800 to 5,000 in five years

According to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the number of programmes accepting GMAT, the most widely-used assessment for business and management programmes around the world, has increased by 31%, from 3,800 to 5,000.

"We are meeting this increasing demand by continually expanding our extensive global network of test centres, where candidates can sit for the GMAT exam nearly any day of the year,” said Dave Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer at GMAC.

As GMAT usage increases across the globe, so have the number of quality schools seeking membership in GMAC and access to its extensive, customized market research and professional development programmes. GMAC recently added institutions like Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, London Business School, Wharton School, Indian School of Business, INSEAD and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to its list of member schools.

The addition of 17 new members since December 2010 now brings total membership in GMAC to 200. More than seventy five percent of the newest members are based outside the U.S., including five in Europe and six in Asia and Australia.
