III.    Take the Pearson Admission Exam: This exam is not required for current or former Universidad de los Andes students, nor for those with valid GMAT or GRE scores. For other applicants, the Pearson exam is an online assessment designed to measure the fundamental skills required for high-level academic programs. The test focuses on three key areas:

• Verbal reasoning: Assesses the candidate’s ability to understand, analyze, and draw conclusions from complex texts, as well as their ability to communicate effectively.
• Numerical reasoning: Measures proficiency in data analysis, interpretation of graphs and tables, and the ability to solve applied mathematical problems.
• Logical reasoning: Tests the ability to identify patterns, sequences, and to solve problems that require structured and critical thinking. The Pearson exam is a valid alternative to the GMAT or GRE and is conducted in collaboration with Universidad de los Andes.

The test is designed to ensure that candidates have the necessary skills to successfully meet the academic challenges of the program.

The Pearson Exam is coordinated through the School of Management at no cost (first attempt only). Our team will contact you to schedule the exam after you upload your admission.

If you are an international student, please note that:

• Foreign students who are going to study in Colombia must have a Student Visa (Type V) or another type of Visa that allows them to study.
• The visa must be presented to the Admissions and Registration Office (window 4), or sent to extranjerosuniandes@uniandes.edu.co 1  to fulfill this legal requirement.
• It is important to complete this process before printing your tuition receipt.
• Current Colombian law requires that foreign nationals, both adults and minors, with a visa longer than 3 months, must carry a foreigner’s identity card. Therefore, you must also have this requirement, which you can send along with your visa.
• Remember that these procedures take time. Apply for your visa well in advance to avoid any problems with payment and registration of your tuition.
