Penn State Altoona Graduate Admission & Requirements

The required tests vary depending on the type of graduate study. The most common admissions tests include the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) for business schools, and the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). You can register for many of these tests online.

The schools’ catalogs will specify which test you need and will often indicate average scores needed to be competitive for acceptance. You should plan to take the appropriate test approximately one year before your anticipated matriculation date although many test scores are valid for three to five years. You can obtain test information from the Web sites listed below:

• GRE
• GMAT
• LSAT
• MCAT
• MAT

Keep in mind that while schools primarily utilize graduate admission tests as requirements for acceptance, some schools also use test scores when considering students for scholarships or fellowships.

You may need to brush up on your test-taking knowledge and skills. Studying for any of these exams is best done by following the suggestions in the registration booklet. There are many books and services available for practice and strategy development. Before you buy a book or enroll in a costly review course, decide if you learn better by reading and practicing independently (books) or by instruction and group practice (review course). If you can, evaluate the content and style of the books or programs you are considering to see if you can understand them and can learn from them. GRE, GMAT, and LSAT prep courses are scheduled each semester in the Bank of America Career Services Center at University Park.
