What are the eligibility criteria for obtaining a GMAT waiver in MBA programs?

You can get a GMAT waiver if you’ve got solid work experience (usually 5+ years), a strong undergrad GPA, or a master’s degree already. Some schools even offer it to candidates from quantitative or analytical fields, like engineering or finance.

You just have to request it formally—usually with an essay or a separate waiver form—showing how your profile proves your readiness. Each school has its own rules, so it’s best to check their exact waiver policy before applying.
