Admission Requirements

Application with GMAT or GRE

This category is for applicants holding GMAT or GRE (General Test) scores. The admission screening will be based on overall performance of GMAT or GRE scores, as well as a comprehensive evaluation of educational background, academic record, work experience, extracurricular activities, essays, recommendation letters (applicant evaluation forms), language proficiency scores, etc. A high GMAT or GRE score does not necessarily guarantee enrollment. For some applicants, telephone interviews will be required. Such candidates will be contacted individually by the WBS Admissions Office.

Some applicants may receive a conditional offer at the time of result announcement. This should not be interpreted as a guaranteed admittance.  Such applicants are required to meet the conditions (e.g. GMAT score) stated in the conditional offer letter and submit any required documentation as indicated to the WBS Admissions Office by the due date listed in the letter. Note that if applicants fail to submit the required documentation by the deadline, the conditional offer will be revoked.

Application for Family Business Successors

This category is for applicants whose family members run their own business* and are scheduled to succeed it in the future. The admission screening will be based on overall performance on the required written exams, and in on-campus interviews, as well as evaluation of all application documents (GMAT and GRE scores are optional). In addition, potential quality as a company successor will be evaluated based on the Application Form for Family Business Successors [Form 5] and the recommendation letter from the current representative of the company.
