COVID-19 and Official Exam Update:

In light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, MLT is modifying the Official GMAT/GRE exam policy for the current MBA Prep Accelerated application cycle.

 If the GMAT or GRE testing center near you is closed due to COVID-19, you can determine whether there is another nearby center at which you would be comfortable sitting for the exam. If not, you can apply for MBA Prep Accelerated with an Official GMAT/GRE practice test developed by GMAC or ETS. 

MLT will require all applicants who submit an application by July 15th with an official practice test to also submit an official GMAT/GRE exam score by 11:59 pm PST on July 15th, 2020.  If you submit an application post-July 15th, 2020, you will be required to submit an official GMAT/GRE exam score report with your application.
