Can I do MIM without GMAT?

Yes, you can do a Master in Management (MiM) without a GMAT. Many top universities, especially in Europe, either don’t require it or offer waivers if you have a strong academic background, work experience, or alternative test scores like the GRE.

For example, HEC Paris grants waivers for candidates with outstanding academics, while ESSEC considers waivers for those with a high GPA or relevant work experience. IE Business School has its entrance exam instead of the GMAT. Schools like SKEMA, EADA, St. Gallen, WHU Otto Beisheim, and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management don’t require GMAT at all.

If you’re applying for a waiver, make sure to highlight your quantitative coursework, internships, or leadership experience. Some schools might ask for an extra test or interview to assess your skills.
