WHAT IS THE ADMISSIONS TEST?

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

This test aims to identify the most suitable candidates for our programs by assessing various skill sets. Our Admissions Process adopts a holistic approach in evaluating each application to ensure we bring the most talented individuals into our diverse classrooms.

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

Please note that not all programs require a test; some may accept multiple tests, while others have specific test requirements.

To take the ieGAT, you must have started your online application and paid the application fee.

*Please note that the ieGAT is one of several steps in the application process and does not provide a graded score. Applicants may proceed with the next steps of the application process without interruption.
