The decision has been taken to contain the spread of the coronavirus. This is a very unfortunate incident where the death toll has risen to at least 80. However, this outbreak has a potential impact on candidates, both Chinese and non-Chinese who are applying to US schools this year.

Decision has been made in consultation with Pearson VUE to CANCEL all February GMAT tests at all test centers throughout mainland China and return full test fees to personal registration accounts of affected test takers.

Moreover, business schools sometimes ask applicants to retake the GMAT to make their overall application stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese students could lose out on this opportunity if business schools ask them to improve upon their GMAT scores, provided business schools do not provide any relaxation to Chinese students.<\/p>\n<h2>What does it mean for non-Chinese applicants?<\/h2>\n<p>This would mean that business schools might look at candidates from other nationalities more favorably.
