WHAT IS THE ADMISSIONS TEST?

The IE Admissions Department’s rigorous selection process includes the Admissions Test.

This test seeks to find the most suitable candidates for our programs by measuring different skill sets. Our Admissions Process takes on a holistic approach when evaluating each application in order to bring the most talented people into our diverse classrooms.

Depending on the program of choice, you may take our IE Global Admissions Test (ieGAT), or you can submit your scores from the GMAT, GRE, CFA, or CAIA. We encourage you to visit the Admissions Section of the program of your choice for further details and Admission Test requirements.

Please consider that not all programs ask for a test, others may accept more than one, while others have a specific test requirement.

*Please note, the ieGAT is one of the various steps in the application process but it does not offer a graded score. Therefore applicants may continue with the next steps of the application process without interruption.
