Kaplan (GHC) was named one of America’s Top Online Learning Providers 2026 and awarded a 5-star rating by Newsweek and Statista.

The ranking is based on an independent survey of more than 10,000 participants measuring satisfaction, recommendation, accessibility, support, cost, reputation, expected success, and practical relevance. Kaplan Real Estate Education received special recognition for its online licensing programs and offers daily Live Online Learning Hub sessions and a Buyer Agency Professional designation. Kaplan also published its inaugural Real Estate Survey of Trends earlier in 2025.

Manhattan Prep and Kaplan surveyed 86 full-time U.S. business school admissions officers in July–August 2025 and found 84% expect the 2025–2026 application cycle to be at least as competitive as 2024–2025.

Of that group, 5% said it will be much more competitive, 28% somewhat more competitive, and 51% about the same. The survey also found 75% of test-optional schools say a competitive GMAT, GRE, or EA score helps an application. Top programs continue to require scores.
