A few things to note for the 2024-2025 application cycle:
- We are now accepting the Duolingo English Test.
- The GMAT Focus Exam is now referred to as the GMAT Exam (the name of the original GMAT test). If your test was taken between November 7, 2023 and February 1, 2024, you will be asked to specify which version of the exam you took. Any scores taken after February 1, 2024 can be submitted regularly.
- The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) portion of the GMAT is now optional.
