Poets and Quants reported last month that The Ohio State University will no longer accept at-home GRE scores due to concerns about cheating.
Says the article:
“Business schools have overturned acceptances to dozens of African MBA candidates after they were suspected of cheating on the virtual GRE. The cheating scandal on the at-home GRE test, introduced during the pandemic, has caused some MBA admission officials to lose confidence in the security measures put in place by the Educational Testing Service, the administrator of the GRE.”
Programs mentioned in the article include The Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business and the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management.
An assistant Dean at Carlson is quoted as saying:
“At least 25 people in Nigeria succeeded in getting their scores through and then it scaled after they told other applicants. It is a testing issue, not a cultural or geo-political issue.”
Officials from The Ohio State University have asked ETS to audit recent results. That audit was ongoing at the time P & Q published the article.
