Does HEC Paris MBA give GMAT waivers?

Question

kritika K · Accepted Answer

HEC Paris does allow GMAT waivers for MBA applicants, but only for those with a top-ranked MiM.
&bull; The waiver applies specifically to candidates who&rsquo;ve completed a strong Master in Management program.&bull; It&rsquo;s not guaranteed, you need to demonstrate strong academic performance, especially in quant-heavy courses.&bull; You won&rsquo;t see a waiver form online. Instead, it&rsquo;s reviewed once you apply and indicate your MiM background.&bull; This doesn&rsquo;t apply to CFA or professional experience, it&rsquo;s MiM-specific.&bull; Best to check with HEC admissions if your degree qualifies before assuming the score isn&rsquo;t needed.
If the waiver isn&rsquo;t granted, a GMAT or GRE will still be required to move forward.

Yes, HEC Paris does offer GMAT waivers, but only in specific cases. If the applicant has completed a top-ranked Master in Management (MiM), they may be eligible for a test waiver. This is mentioned clearly on their official application requirements page.
The waiver isn&rsquo;t automatic. HEC will assess the MiM degree and academic performance to determine if the GMAT can be waived. It&rsquo;s typically granted to those who&rsquo;ve shown strong quantitative and analytical skills during their MiM program.
Anyone considering this route should confirm directly with the admissions team and apply for the waiver early in the process.

HEC Paris does offer GMAT waivers for its MBA, but only under specific conditions. If someone has completed a highly ranked Master in Management (MiM) program,  especially with strong academic results, they can request a waiver.
The admissions team expects solid grades in quantitative subjects like finance, statistics, or economics. Just having a MiM isn&rsquo;t enough,  applicants still need to show they&rsquo;ve handled rigorous coursework successfully.
This waiver isn&rsquo;t automatic. It&rsquo;s only granted in select cases, and most other applicants are still required to submit a GMAT, GRE, or EA score.

GMAT waivers at HEC Paris are possible, but only in very specific cases.

Only applicants with a top-ranked Master in Management degree can request it.
Strong performance in quant-heavy courses like accounting, economics, or statistics is essential.
You&rsquo;ll need to explain your academic background clearly, especially your results in analytical subjects.
The waiver isn&rsquo;t guaranteed &mdash; even with a MiM.
All other applicants must still submit a GMAT, GRE, or Executive Assessment.

If your academic record isn&rsquo;t clearly strong in quant areas, submitting a test score may still strengthen your chances.
