RIT’s Saunders College drops standardized test requirement
RIT’s Saunders College drops standardized test requirement
Listen to this articleFor the first time, students applying for graduate school at Rochester Institute of Technology’s Saunders College of Business won’t have to submit standardized test grades.
The college has decided to waive the GMAT/GRE tests for the fall 2020 entrants because of the COVID-19 pandemic closing testing centers.
The college said it will review applications with available information and may request more information from or schedule an online interview with individual applicants. For foreign students, the usual Test of English as a Foreign Language and International English Language Testing System results can be replaced by the Duolingo English test. Students applying with Duolingo results will be given an additional English test on campus.
“Students and their families are dealing with so much uncertainty related to COVID-19,” said Jacqueline Mozrall, Saunders College dean. “It is our hope to help ease some of this stress by providing incoming graduate students with support in the way of graduate admissions test waivers and additional scholarships. Faculty and staff at Saunders College are not only committed to providing an exceptional and relevant education that integrates business with technology, but also serve to reassure and assist our students whenever possible, particularly during this time.”
Saunders operates with rolling admissions, but foreign students are advised to apply before June 24 to provide time to meet visa requirements for fall admission. Application information is available online.
