Why Are Students in Rome Taking the GRE?
For students in Rome, the GRE is less about satisfying one school's requirement — it is about keeping every option open with one score. At LUISS, a GRE score can take the place of an entire stage of the admissions process — and the same result carries at Bocconi and Politecnico di Milano, INSEAD, IESE, IE, London Business School, HEC Paris, Imperial and the University of St. Gallen abroad. So, the exam is a real entry route to one of the city's most sought-after graduate schools and across the United States, the UK and the rest of Europe.
What can a GRE score actually do for you at LUISS?
At LUISS Business School a GRE score does something different but equally practical: it lifts you out of the Logic Test, the inductive, numerical and deductive stage of the MBA and Master in International Management selection. The school sets no formal minimum, though it notes that admission with a score below 145 per section is rare. One score, one threshold, two different doors in the same institution.
What this really buys you is control. Almost everything else in a graduate application is a judgment someone else makes about your transcript, your letters, your interview. The GRE is the one element where you decide the number, months in advance, and walk into the process with it already settled.
Do other universities in Rome accept the GRE?
Tor Vergata does, and treats it as a genuine advantage rather than a box to tick. Its English-taught master's programs in Economics and in Finance and Banking require no standardized test at all — admission runs through an online application and a thirty-minute interview in English — but applicants are explicitly invited to submit a GRE score to strengthen their file. In past admission cycles, the Finance and Banking program went further: a strong quantitative score could exempt a candidate from the interview altogether.
Why Use a Specialist Academy for the GRE in Rome?
Two students starting the same GRE course rarely need the same plan. EPIC Prep's tutors have extensive knowledge of the exam and work with you individually, so your tailored plan is built around your actual starting point and target score from day one. With an academically distinguished team working on the GRE — not as an add-on to a broader curriculum — we offer exclusive content built specifically for this exam and PrepDrills, our data-driven platform that tracks your progress and adjusts your plan as you improve. Sessions run around your schedule, so preparing for the GRE fits alongside coursework or a full-time job rather than competing with it.
That's the difference between preparing alone or with a general tutor, and preparing with a team that has been educating on the GRE since 2010, matched with your own native English-speaking tutor: instead of a fixed syllabus, you're working toward the exact score your target university expects, whether that's 300 or 320+.
EPIC Prep Rome is an academy that specializes in the GRE. Every course starts with a diagnostic assessment — your starting level, target score, exam date, and goals— before we design your plan around expert tutors, exclusive materials, and the EPIC Prep Methodology.

GRE Frequently Asked Questions About the GRE Prep Course in Rome
Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions that students and applicants in Rome ask about the GRE for graduate programs. These questions address admission requirements at Rome-area universities such as LUISS and Tor Vergata, the differences between the GRE and GMAT, the structure of the GRE General Test, the scoring system, score validity, retake policies, testing arrangements at authorized test centers and from home, as well as strategic considerations for effective preparation.
Whether you’re considering master’s, MBA or doctoral programs in Rome, elsewhere in Europe, the United States or other international academic destinations, understanding how the GRE works is a critical step in designing a solid and well-planned admissions strategy.
Where can I take the GRE in Rome?
In Rome, the GRE General Test is offered at ETS-authorized test centers — part of a global network of more than 1,000 centers in 160+ countries — as well as in the at-home format, available 24/7 and identical in content and format to the test-center version. Check the official ETS system for current test center appointments in Rome.
Which universities in Rome accept the GRE?
Various top universities accept the GRE in Rome. At LUISS Guido Carli, a GRE score can replace part of the school’s own Logic Test. Tor Vergata doesn’t require it, but accepts a GRE or GMAT score as a meaningful supplement to your file — for its Finance & Banking program specifically, a strong quantitative score has been used to skip part of the interview process. Rome Business School also considers a GRE or GMAT score depending on the program, though this isn’t published consistently — worth confirming directly with your target course.
What GRE score do I need for LUISS?
LUISS Guido Carli hasn’t published a required minimum, but its own admissions guidance states it’s very unusual to admit candidates with a GRE score below 145 per section— and a strong score can exempt you from part of the school’s Logic Test entirely. Since this is one factor among several (motivation, interview, professional background), a solid score strengthens your file rather than guaranteeing admission on its own.
Can Rome-based applicants use the GRE instead of the GMAT for an MBA?
Yes. Many top universities including INSEAD, London Business School, ESADE, IE, HEC Paris (which suggests GRE sections at or above the 65th percentile), Imperial and the University of St. Gallen all accept the GRE in addition to the GMAT, weighing the two tests equally — and LUISS itself already treats a GRE score the same way it treats the GMAT for its own Logic Test exemption.
What GRE score do students in Rome need for the top MBA programs abroad?
No school publishes a hard cutoff, but the ranges are clear: INSEAD looks for the 80th percentile or higher in both sections, with successful applicants averaging around 160 Verbal and 160+ Quantitative; London Business School recommends 160+ in both for a combined 320+; and LSE’s benchmark runs higher, at roughly 324+ combined. Imperial’s Full-Time MBA sets the lowest floor of this group at 156 Verbal and 158 Quantitative. Many Rome-based applicants also weigh Bocconi and SDA Bocconi in Milan as a domestic option before deciding whether to apply abroad.
How long does it take to prepare for the GRE in Rome?
It depends on your timeline and starting point. Students without a tight deadline typically prepare over 10 to 15 weeks, while those working toward a closer test date can complete an intensive 5- to 7-week track. Small groups run a 7-week intensive schedule followed by 3 to 4 weeks of individual reinforcement before the exam. After a diagnostic assessment, your EPIC Prep advisor builds a specific plan and pace around your target score, test date, and goals.
Can I prepare for the GRE with EPIC Prep in Rome even though they don't have an office there?
Yes. EPIC Prep works with students across Italy — including Rome — using the same native-English tutors, exclusive materials and PrepDrills platform used everywhere we operate. Your course is built around your target score, deadline and starting point, regardless of which city you’re applying from, with the same one-on-one or small-group attention throughout.
