Diverse Candidates
Today’s graduate business schools are looking for candidates with a wide range of backgrounds, nationalities, cultures, and experiences.
Business schools of all shapes and sizes and in every corner of the world actively recruit candidates from diverse backgrounds for one simple reason: a diverse student body enriches the academic experience for everyone. That’s because, unlike most undergraduate programs, students in graduate business programs learn as much from each other as from their faculty.
The Graduate Management Admissions Council® (GMAC®), the global non-profit council of the world’s leading business programs, has been working with schools for decades to diversify their student bodies and create access for anyone interested in pursuing a graduate management education.
In addition to providing support for schools and students, GMAC conducts extensive research every year, collecting data and information from those interested in business school, GMAT test-takers, member school representatives and others. Through this research, GMAC identifies trends important to those groups. In this section, we address the most pervasive question we hear from diverse candidates.
