Choosing the Right College - admission


Expert: Todd Johnson - 6/28/2009

Question
Dear Johnson;

I would like to know if any US university  program exist for graduate or undergraduate admission that no need GMAT or GRE.
Also inform is General IELTS acceptable?
Thanks for your cooperation.

Best regards
Amir

Answer
Amir,

The GMAT is only required for some graduate business schools in the US. The GRE is only required for other graduate type programs. There are some graduate programs that don't require the GRE usually if you have high grades in the subject that you wish to get your graduate degree in.

For undergraduate admissions there are two tests, the SAT and the ACT. Either is acceptable for any undergraduate program. I don't believe either is offered in Iran so you would need to travel to another country to take the test.

There are some US undergraduate colleges that do not require the SAT or ACT test for admission. A list of these colleges can be found at www.fairtest.org/university/optional

Many but not all colleges will require some form of standard test such as the IELTS so confirm that you have English language skills strong enough to handle a college education. It depends on the college but I believe many will accept the general IELTS.

I hope that helps.
