The Graduate Management Admission Council updated global admissions reporting standards to improve transparency around test scores, waivers and GPA disclosures for MBA and business master’s programs. GMAC CEO Joy Jones framed the move as a response to evolving testing practices, international mobility shifts and the proliferation of specialized graduate management degrees. Changes include guidance on reporting multiple GMAT editions during transitions, formal recognition of the Duolingo English Test for proficiency reporting, and clearer categories for test waivers and U.S. GPA figures. GMAC also launched an Adoption Badge to signal schools that formally commit to the revised standards, a step likely to influence prospective-student decision‑making and class-profile comparability.
