2008. The academic requirements for admission to the MAcc include a 3.0 overall
cumulative GPA and 3.0 accounting GPA as well as a minimum 550 GMAT.
While it takes approximately one month for the UO to receive GMAT scores, we
recommend that you take it as early as possible after carefully preparing for
it. An ideal time would be during the holiday break after Fall quarter, 2007
or early in Winter quarter 2008. At the latest, you should plan on taking the
GMAT by February 15, 2008.
If you are currently a MAcc student, you must have a current UO cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
