Can I apply for the ESCP MBA without GMAT?

Yes, ESCP does allow applicants to apply without a GMAT. If you’ve got solid work experience or an advanced degree, you can request a waiver during the application process. The school looks at your full profile, so strong essays, a clear career plan, and a good academic track record help a lot.

If the waiver isn’t approved, you might be asked to take ESCP’s own admission test instead. It’s shorter than GMAT and focuses on basic reasoning and business thinking. Many candidates have been admitted without ever taking the GMAT, so it’s possible if the rest of your profile is strong.
