Manhattan Prep’s mission is to create the highest quality teaching services for as many students as possible. That is why we at mbaMission exclusively recommend its services to our clients seeking guidance in their GMAT, GRE, or Executive Assessment test prep throughout their business school journey.
In these unprecedented times, Manhattan Prep has taken an active role in the eradication of existing disparities based on race, class, and gender, especially as it is well established that standardized tests, in particular, help to perpetuate inequality in multiple ways.
As part of its efforts to create a more equitable and inclusive space, Manhattan Prep has launched the Diversity in Education Event Series, which focuses on both student and institutional perspectives. We encourage you to enroll (for free!) in the upcoming four-part series:
