Who is actually eligible for the GMAT? Confused about requirements

Hey everyone,

I’ve been researching the GMAT and I’m a bit confused about the eligibility criteria. Some sources say there’s no strict academic requirement, while others mention needing a bachelor’s degree.

From what I understand:

• Minimum age is 18 (or 13–17 with parental consent)
• No official requirement for a specific degree or percentage

But realistically, since business schools require a bachelor’s degree, does that make it an “unofficial” requirement?

Would appreciate insights from anyone who has taken the exam or is preparing!

Thanks!
