3EASY WAYS
GRE ® test scores have been a proven measure for predicting success in graduate and business school programs for more than 60 years. With the launch of the GRE® revised General Test in 2011, the test is even better. It’s now more aligned with the skills needed to succeed in graduate and business school. The scores provide more simplicity in distinguishing performance differences between candidates. Plus, the design is more test-taker friendly for an enhanced test experience. All of this means good news for you and your potential applicants. It is no surprise that more and more people from around the world are taking the GRE revised General Test.

Grades, transcripts and test scores give you a solid understanding of an applicant’s academic performance. However, they don’t reflect the noncognitive skills or core personal attributes that you need to assess in order to have a complete picture of an
applicant’s potential for success in graduate or business school. A powerful, web-based admissions tool, the ETS® Personal Potential Index (ETS® PPI) helps programs make better admissions decisions by providing standardized, applicant-specific information on core personal attributes that graduate deans and faculty have identified as important for success in graduate study. These include:
• Knowledge and Creativity • Resilience • Communication Skills • Ethics and Integrity • Teamwork • Planning and Organization
When used with GRE® scores and transcripts, the ETS PPI Evaluation Report complements your current admissions process, and includes both quantitative and qualitative data that can help you make better admissions decisions by giving you an even more complete picture of your applicants.
An easy — and consistent — way to receive reliable feedback.Just like the letter of recommendation process, an applicant requests that a faculty member, supervisor or other appropriate individual provides information about him or her. The evaluator completes the web-based evaluation by responding to 24 statements with appropriate ratings, providing an overall rating and adding in any qualitative feedback. Because the process is so easy, most evaluators can complete the form in less than 15 minutes — and you get feedback about the applicant on all six attributes — in a very consistent way across your applicant pool. All feedback is kept confidential from the applicant in compliance with the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) guidelines. The report you receive will show ratings and comments from individual evaluators as well as consolidated ratings for each attribute.

The ETS PPI allows for a focused evaluation of how a candidate compares to others in the evaluator’s department or unit who have gone on to graduate or professional study.
Research on ETS PPI usage shows that evaluators’ ratings of the six attributes cover the range of available responses.
ETS PPI is backed by more than ten years of research, making it the first research-based, wide-scale admissions tool that standardizes the evaluation of noncognitive skills necessary for graduate and business school success.

• ETS® PPI provides a more complete picture of your applicant, and rounds out the overall application
• ETS PPI can help broaden, as well as refine, your selection process — so you can find the applicants who are the right fit for your program
• You can use ETS PPI to help identify applicants who are more likely to persist and succeed, which can help control — even reduce — the human and financial cost of attrition
• Incorporating a research-based evaluation tool like ETS PPI can further enhance your admissions process and take it to the next level
Adding ETS PPI to your admissions process is easy. ETS PPI reports are FREE to institutions. To get started:
• Add ETS PPI to your admissions application criteria and published requirements
• Tell applicants to use your current GRE Institution Code to indicate that they want ETS PPI reports sent to your institution. (If you are not already a GRE score user, you can apply for an ETS PPI Institution Code at ets.org/ppi/code.)
• Choose how you would like to receive ETS PPI Reports:
o Paper Reports
o Electronic Reports through SCORELINK® Internet Delivery Service (available in both PDF and XML file formats)
And, it is easy for your potential applicants too!
• All GRE® revised General Test registrants can send up to four free ETS PPI Evaluation Reports
• Individuals who do not take the GRE revised General Test or who need additional reports can purchase ETS PPI reports for $20 each
ETS® PPI can help you make even better admissions decisions.
