I am looking to apply for the MPhil Management program at Cambridge University. My GMAT score is 720 but I have not taken the GRE. Is my GMAT score acceptable for this program?
—Jayni Patel
The GMAT score is not accepted as a part of the MPhil Management program at Cambridge Universities Judge Business School. Applicants are encouraged to take the GRE. Although this is not a formal requirement, for applicants from universities which may not be well known to members of the admissions committee, a strong GRE test result may well make a difference.
