Does Wharton offer GMAT waiver for MIM?

Question

Ishaan M · Accepted Answer

There is no GMAT waiver policy for MiM at Wharton because it does not offer a Master in Management (MiM) program at all. Instead, Wharton offers programs like the full-time MBA, Executive MBA, and a few specialized degrees such as MBA/MA-Lauder and MBA/JD. For all of these, applicants are required to submit a GMAT or GRE score  and there is no option to waive it.
So if you are looking for a MiM program with a GMAT waiver option, you may want to explore schools like HEC Paris, ESSEC, or LBS, which clearly offer MiM tracks and have different test policies.

There is no waiver policy for Wharton&rsquo;s MIM because it doesn&rsquo;t offer a  Master in Management (MiM) program. It&rsquo;s important to note that Wharton&rsquo;s graduate-level offerings are primarily focused on their MBA and Executive MBA programs.
For the Wharton MBA, applicants are required to submit a valid GMAT or GRE score, and there&rsquo;s no waiver option available for these tests. The admissions process is competitive and standardized testing remains a key part of how they assess applicants&rsquo; academic readiness.
If you're searching for a MiM program that may allow GMAT waivers, consider schools like HEC Paris, LBS, or ESCP, which offer MiM degrees and have clear testing policies outlined on their admissions pages.
So, if Wharton is your target, you're looking at their MBA and for that, GMAT or GRE is mandatory with no exceptions.
