JHU Carey Business School Drops GRE/GMAT Requirement for Fall 2025 Applications

返回新鲜资讯Back to News

Johns Hopkins Carey Business School has announced a major policy change for Fall 2025 admissions: GRE/GMAT scores are no longer mandatory and will be optional. Round 1 applicants can waive scores by November 14; subsequent round applicants may also decide whether to submit. Submitted scores will still be considered holistically. In light of this change, CheersYou(清柚教育) advises applicants to leverage their strengths flexibly. Those with strong scores should still submit to boost competitiveness; those without or with low scores may opt out to focus on other strengths. This favorable policy lowers the application barrier and will open more opportunities for aspiring students to gain admission.

Johns Hopkins Carey Business School has just announced a significant change for Fall 2025 applications:

 

GRE/GMAT scores will no longer be required for Fall 2025 applications; the school is moving to a test-optional policy.

 

Applicants who have already submitted their applications in Round 1 can choose to waive their scores by November 14. Those applying in subsequent rounds may decide whether or not to submit their test scores.

 

Although not mandatory, JHU Carey will still consider GRE/GMAT scores as part of the holistic review if applicants choose to submit them.

 

Therefore, if you have a strong GRE/GMAT score, CheersYou(清柚教育) still recommends that you consider submitting it to enhance your competitiveness. For those who have not yet achieved a satisfactory score or whose scores are low, you may consider not submitting them to play to your strengths.

 

GRE/GMAT scores have traditionally been an important evaluation factor for JHU Carey, and were previously required. The average admitted GRE score for the Marketing program, for example, reached an astonishing 336.

 

This change for the current application cycle is expected to create more opportunities for applicants to gain admission to this prestigious institution. Don't miss out if you're interested in JHU Carey!
