Under certain circumstances, MBA applicants may request a waiver for the GMAT when applying for initial admission to the MBA program, or when attempting to progress from temporary graduate admission to conditional or full admission to the MBA program. The MBA Director will consider, on a case-by-case basis, GMAT waiver requests from applicants who fall into one of the following categories:
The applicant has completed a graduate or professional degree (i.e., a degree beyond a four-year baccalaureate degree) from an accredited college or university; OR
The applicant has a current GRE score (less than 5 years old) of 900 or higher (verbal and quantitative sections combined); OR
The applicant (i) has an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher AND (ii) has at least two years of relevant professional and/or management/supervisory experience AND (iii) writes a letter of application outlining career goals and objectives AND (iv) earns a B or better in QMS 6351 and MGT 6351.
A GMAT waiver is not automatic for any applicant. To request a GMAT waiver, the applicant must submit the following materials to the MBA Director:
A brief written request outlining the reasons why the MBA Director should grant a GMAT waiver (including career goals and objectives) and indicating which of the above waiver categories applies.
Copies of all academic transcripts for work completed at any college or university attended. The applicant may submit unofficial transcripts for consideration, but any unofficial copies must be followed by official transcripts submitted with the formal application.
A current professional resume.
Any other information the applicant wishes to submit to the MBA Director in support of the request (e.g., letter from supervisor explaining the applicant's job duties, performance, and potential, or letters of recommendation).
