Yes, you can definitely do an MBA without GMAT. Many schools are test-flexible or test-optional depending on your profile. Here’s how:
GRE Option: Top schools like Yale SOM, INSEAD, and NYU Stern accept the GRE instead of GMAT. Some also accept the Executive Assessment.
Waiver-Friendly Schools: Schools like Babson, Kelley, Vanderbilt, and Warwick offer waivers based on strong academics, 4–5 years of work experience, or a quant-heavy degree.
No-Test Programs: A few MBA programs don’t require any test at all—like Hult International Business School, SDA Bocconi (some tracks), and Howard University MBA. These focus more on your work experience and goals.
Profile Strength: If you're not submitting a test score, your essays, resume, and work history must clearly show you're MBA-ready. Schools look closely at your growth, leadership, and fit for their program.
