A competitive GRE or GMAT score is also required for admission to a master’s program in the United States. If applicants already have such a score, those scores should be uploaded with the online application. If not available, the American Center can arrange to test for preliminarily selected candidates only. Prospective candidates must prepare well in advance for standardized tests (TOEFL/GRE/GMAT) since a competitive score is crucial for admission.
