Have you taken the GRE exams or TOEFL? What are
your scores? Besides, have you worked in an establishment since leaving school?
How many years of experience have you garnered? The answers to these questions may well define
how your applications to graduate schools will be viewed and assessed. But the
good news is that no matter your scores, there are schools that fit the profile
of each candidate.
You may ask, can’t I just apply to any school and
be admitted? Well, you can but it is equally possible to apply to twelve
schools and got rejection from them all. So, it is key and essential to know
which school to apply to and which school to avoid. To make the selection
simple I have provided a broad categorisation of schools based on ranking, students’
testimonies and average test scores over the years. With this guide, I will
advice a student apply to five schools, yes five schools. Two schools which are
slightly above your profile which can aptly be described as being ambitious
schools. The next two should be within the bracket that perfectly meets your
profile. In this case, you have more than 60% assurance of being admitted. As a
safe bet, it is equally advisable to apply to a school that you are more than
100% sure of being taken. That’s a school slightly below your profile as shown
in the table below. Now sum up all your credits and compare with the university ratings to know where to file your application. Also, be sure to leave a comment or contact me via email if
you have any question.

That's really helpful for their part especially that they were trying to have a better way on running a certain matter for them to give students a better way of education than what they used to.

I totally support GRE/GMAT based exams when a student is going to enter into programs of such a higher academic level.
