History
In 1953, the organization now called the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) began as an association of nine business schools, whose goal was to develop a standardized test to help business schools select qualified applicants. In the first year it was offered, the assessment (now known as the Graduate Management Admission Test), was taken just over 2,000 times; in recent years, it has been taken more than 250,000 times annually. Initially used in admissions by 54 schools, the test is now used by more than 1,500 schools and 5,400 programs worldwide.
