Many top MBA programs offer GMAT/GRE waivers, often based on strong academic records, significant work experience (especially in quantitative roles), advanced degrees, or professional certifications. While some schools are fully test-optional, others offer waivers on a case-by-case basis.
Some notable MBA programs that frequently offer GMAT/GRE waivers or are fully test-optional include:
- MIT Sloan School of Management (often for Executive MBA or with strong rationale)
- University of Michigan - Ross School of Business (may require a Statement of Academic Readiness)
- NYU Stern School of Business (waivers for certain programs or strong candidates)
- Cornell University - Johnson Graduate School of Management (waivers available for Full-Time MBA with strong rationale)
- UCLA Anderson School of Management
- University of Virginia - Darden School of Business
- Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management (often for Executive MBA or Evening & Weekend MBA)
- University of California, Berkeley - Haas School of Business (for "Cal Advantage" applicants)
- Boston University - Questrom School of Business
- University of Rochester - Simon Business School
- University of Maryland - Robert H. Smith School of Business
- Babson College - F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business
- University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Gies College of Business) (especially for online iMBA)
- Georgia Tech - Scheller College of Business
It's crucial to check each school's specific waiver policy, as eligibility criteria and availability can vary by program (e.g., Full-Time, Part-Time, Executive, Online) and may change.
I would suggest you get free counseling from a study abroad consultant and get into the right direction.
