Answer: Standardized test scores play an important part in the admission process. While test scores are not the only component of your application that the Admissions Committee considers, a good test score will certainly improve your chance for admission.

5. What is the GMAT and am I required to take it?
Answer: Taking the GMAT is mandatory for admission into the Professional MBA program in New York City.
Official test (GMAT, and/or TOEFL) scores must be requested from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The school code of Binghamton University is 2535. Upon request, these scores will be sent directly to Binghamton University by ETS.
TOEFL is not required if you have received a collegiate degree from a U.S. institution or if you have received a degree from an institution in a country whose native language is English.
Although photocopies of GMAT, and/or TOEFL scores will not substitute for official test scores, we will accept them on a temporary basis if the application deadline is close. Department evaluation may take place with the use of photocopies. An admission offer cannot be made, however, until the official scores are received.
