The deadline for the MBA program at NYU Stern has recently passed, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to apply for an MBA program. There are still several MBA programs with upcoming deadlines that accept the Executive Assessment as an alternative to the GMAT or GRE. The Executive Assessment, or EA, is a valid and reliable test designed to assess the business knowledge and skills of experienced professionals. It is accepted by a growing number of business schools worldwide, including many top-ranked MBA programs.

One benefit of taking the EA is that it is a shorter test than the GMAT or GRE, and it is focused specifically on the skills and knowledge needed for business leadership. This can make it a more convenient option for busy professionals who are looking to pursue an MBA while continuing to work.

If you are an experienced professional looking to pursue an MBA, it is worth considering the EA as an alternative to the GMAT or GRE. There are many MBA programs with upcoming deadlines that accept the EA, so you still have the opportunity to apply and take your career to the next level.
