Graduate Admissions Tests

In order for a degree application to be considered complete, the appropriate official report of scores must be received by the Graduate Studies Office. Whether an applicant chooses to prepare via self-study or take a preparatory course, sufficient time should be allowed to prepare for an admission test. Applicants should indicate Code No. 5410 for Meredith College on the test registration form so that an official report will be sent to Meredith College. Allow a minimum of three weeks for the official report to be mailed from the testing center.

The Graduate Management Admission Test® (GMAT®) and Graduate Record Examinations® (GRE®) tests are administered as computer adaptive tests (CATs) throughout North America and at many international sites. These tests measure general verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills. The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is an analytic ability test requiring the solution of problems stated as verbal analogies, with a few quantitative analogies. The MAT is intended to assess the student’s ability to recognize relationships between ideas, fluency in the English language and general knowledge of literature, philosophy, history, science, mathematics and fine arts. These tests are viewed as predictors of academic success in the first year of graduate school.
Applicants to Meredith’s graduate program in Education or Nutrition who have previously earned a master’s degree or a doctorate from a regionally-accredited college or university may choose not to take the admissions examination for that program (e.g., GRE® or MAT). Acceptance of an advanced degree in place of an admissions examination does not guarantee admission to a program.

An applicant to Meredith’s Master of Science in Nutrition program who has successfully (received all As or Bs) completed his or her academic coursework for Meredith’s Dietetic Internship, may request in writing that s/he be allowed to substitute this academic work, along with a recommendation from his or her DI supervisor, for the GRE®.

The GMAT® is required for all MBA applicants.
