While GMAT or GRE scores are *required in your application package, there are no minimum required scores these exams. Applications are evaluated holistically and are not dependent on standardized test scores; however, successful applicants will most likely have competitive scores.
*The Baker Program in Real Estate is test optional for the GMAT/GRE for the fall 2023 admission cycle. When considering whether or not to submit the GMAT/GRE, please consider the following:
- Compelling applicants to the program will demonstrate strong quantitative skills and English language proficiency.
- Our admissions committee uses a holistic approach to review applications, and will seek evidence of quantitative exposure through your resume, academic transcript, essay, and letters of recommendation. The GMAT/GRE is one way to demonstrate quantitative competency and English language proficiency to the admissions committee. Unless your transcript clearly demonstrates quantitative ability, you should strongly consider taking the GMAT/GRE. Examples of quantitative classes include microeconomics, finance, accounting, calculus, and statistics with regression.
- If your secondary school transcript includes examples of quantitative coursework you are welcome to include that in your application as well.
- All applications will be considered “complete” without GMAT/GRE test scores. If you plan to submit test scores, please schedule them to be sent to us well in advance of the application deadline so they can be reviewed with your application.
