This week, we sat down with Jenna Downey, Associate Director, Graduate Recruitment and Admissions at Dalhousie University's Faculty of Management to discuss how Dalhousie University removed the GMAT as a long-standing requirement of application. Jenna walks us through the journey that revealed bias and redundancy in the admissions process, and how Dalhousie's core values of equity created the foundation of stakeholder buy-in and support that brought a more holistic approach to admissions.
