MBA Schools on Scoretop Penalties

(page 2 of 3)

Indiana University-Kelley School of Business

"We obviously care deeply about the integrity of our students and of the admissions process, but we prefer not to comment at this time on the Scoretop incident until there is more information available. We haven't had any inquiries from prospects or current students about Scoretop." —Jim Holmen, director of admissions and financial aid for MBA programs

MIT Sloan School of Management

"We would consider kicking current students out or rescinding admission offers. For alumni, we would definitely consider revoking degrees. In our business, it's something that we are prepared to do, because there could be similar situations in future. But we don't want to rush into judgment. GMAC is doing due diligence, and I'm sure they will take their own legal action." —Rod Garcia, director of admissions

University of North Carolina-Kenan Flagler Business School

"We require the GMAT as part of the application process. Therefore, if the GMAC cancels the test scores of students, their applications wouldn't be complete, and they wouldn't be admitted with an incomplete application. We wouldn't enroll someone who had knowingly cheated, but at this point, it's difficult to pinpoint who's guilty and who's not, so we're leaving it up to the officials and the legal team at GMAC." —David Hoffmann, associate dean for UNC Kenan-Flagler's MBA program

University of Notre Dame-Mendoza College of Business

"If there's a person that knowingly cheated to get a good score, then that's an issue and we're not going to stand for that. If it was unknowing, then we're in a real gray area. We need to step back and re-evaluate. I don't know what we'll do at this point. It's serious and we want to take it seriously." —Brian Lohr, director of MBA admissions

Purdue University-Krannert School of Management

"It comes down to information we get from GMAC. If there is evidence to support that they did cheat, we'll follow up and prosecute cases that appear to have misconduct. Applicants will be denied admission; current students will be dealt with through student disciplinary code, which gives students rights of due process." —Chuck Johnson, director of master's and executive programs

University of Rochester-Simon Graduate School of Business

"Obviously, if we find students enrolled here whose names are on that list, we'll have to find out what that means. We'll follow up, and investigate further. I don't know what the outcomes will be but we have to go through it deliberately and carefully." —Greg MacDonald, executive director of admissions & administration

Stanford University Graduate School of Business

"We have not yet heard from GMAC of any score cancellations. As such, we do not want to speculate on any actions or policies." —Derrick Bolton, MBA admissions director

University of Texas, Austin-McCombs School of Business

"We have no idea. I don't think GMAC has even said the actions they're going to take. We have nothing to respond to right now, so it's in a holding pattern." —Rob Meyer, media relations, McComb School of Business
