You don’t need a GMAT or GRE score to get into a solid MBA program anymore, especially if your profile is strong elsewhere.

  • Babson, Suffolk, and Questrom (Boston University) offer test waivers for candidates with strong academics or work experience.
  • MIT Sloan Fellows and Cornell Tech MBA are test-optional for select profiles.
  • European schools like HEC Paris (part-time EMBA) and IESE consider waivers based on career history.
  • Many programs now prefer applicants to show quant skills through undergrad transcripts or certifications like CFA, CPA, or even Excel-heavy job roles.
  • If applying without a test, the rest of the application needs to shine, especially essays, career clarity, and leadership roles.

For mid-career or high-performing applicants, skipping the test is more possible than ever, without sacrificing school quality.
