The GMAT, one of the keys of admission to business school, will undergo a major format change in June 2012. It will add a third component, integrative reasoning, to the current verbal and quantitative sections. Although Rajan Chandran, vice dean at Temple's Fox School of Business, calls the test a useful snapshot of a student's abilities, he says that business schools also consider other factors. "We want to create entrepreneurial leaders and change agents. Test scores reflect some skills, but emotional intelligence is just as important," said Chandran.
