Yes, you can apply to certain MBA programs at King’s College London and UCL without GMAT or GRE, depending on the course. For example, King’s Executive MBA does not require test scores if you have at least 7 years of strong work experience. The focus is more on leadership background and academics.
At UCL, some programs like the UCL MBA Health usually ask for a GMAT/GRE, but you can request a waiver if your academics and work experience are solid. Just make sure to check each program’s exact criteria—they can vary quite a bit.

Yes, you can still get into London Business School (LBS) with a low GMAT score—but only if the rest of your profile is really strong. LBS looks at your whole application, not just your test score. So if your essays, work experience, academics, and leadership qualities are impressive, you still have a chance.
Many students with scores lower than the average (which is around 700) have gotten in. But they usually stand out in other ways—like leading big projects at work, starting a business, or showing strong growth over time. So it’s all about the full story you tell in your application.
Also, if you think your GMAT is not your best strength, LBS will want to see proof that you can handle numbers and analysis. You can show this through your grades, your job, or even an extra course like CFA or quantitative certifications.
So don’t worry too much about one number—focus on everything else you bring to the table. That’s what really matters at a school like LBS.

For most business master’s programs at King’s College London and University College London (UCL), the GMAT or GRE is not mandatory. Instead, they focus more on your academic performance, personal statement, and relevant experience. Some competitive programs might recommend test scores, especially if your GPA isn't super strong—but it’s usually not required.
Just make sure your application is solid—good grades, clear motivation, and strong references. If you can show you're serious and capable, you're already halfway in.
