Does LBS offer GMAT waivers for their MBA program?

There’s no GMAT or GRE waiver for the LBS MBA, unlike some schools, LBS keeps this requirement firm.

• Every MBA applicant must submit a valid GMAT, GMAT Focus, or GRE score before applying.

• Even top performers with CFA, CPA, or Ivy League degrees aren’t exempt.

• The policy helps LBS maintain a fair and consistent evaluation across a highly global applicant pool.

• It’s different for other LBS programs like the Masters in Finance, where CFA Level II holders may get a waiver, but not for the MBA.

• Anyone planning to apply should start test prep early to avoid delays in application rounds.

Skipping the test isn’t an option here, LBS is clear and strict about it.
