University Testimonials

Admission Offices Love GATEWAY

GATEWAY helps admissions offices achieve their international student objectives.

Logan Gillette Assistant Dean, Graduate Admissions and Recruitment, Brigham Young University

English3 creates options for applicants and allows for a more diverse pool of students to study at BYU. In addition, the incidence of cheating or misrepresenting English proficiency is much lower – English3 gives us an accurate view of the applicant’s English ability.

Jane Borisova Director of the Intensive English Program, University of Northern Colorado

English3 presents a complete linguistic profile of our students. Video interviews allows us to observe students’ using the language and “get to meet” them instead of just receiving a score report. English3 has drastically improved our graduation and retention rates. Previously our graduation rate was around 66%; after the implementation of English3 it has been consistently around 85%.

Brenda Campbell Program Administrator, Western University of Health Sciences

We require English3 tests for all of our scholars. We opted not to use other tests primarily due to huge problems with cheating. English3 provides a real snapshot of what applicants can do. English3 tests are designed to determine performance in an academic environment.
