GMAT/GRE Waiver Request Form

2020-21 GMAT/GRE Waiver Policy

As a pilot initiative for the 2020-21 application cycle, the Carroll School of Management is providing full-time MBA applicants (i.e., the class of 2023) the option to request consideration for a GMAT/GRE waiver. Part-time MBA and part-time MSF applicants remain eligible to request waivers.

Applicants should note that the Admissions Committee will review GMAT/GRE scores as an additional metric in the application review process and during the allocation of merit-based scholarships. Furthermore, applicants should be aware that some employers, particularly in the consulting and banking industries, might require the reporting of GMAT/GRE scores during the hiring process.

Waiver requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Admissions Committee will consider applicants’ academic and professional accomplishments and credentials when evaluating requests. Criteria that may qualify an applicant for a waiver include, but are not limited to, the following:

Three or more years of full-time work experience
A cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher
The possession of a terminal degree (JD, MD, or PhD)
A CPA or CFA designation, or additional professional certifications

Please note the following:

GMAT/GRE waiver requests are being considered solely for the full-time MBA, part-time MBA, and part-time MSF programs at this time. If you apply to the full-time MSF, MSA, or PhD programs, you are required to submit a GMAT or GRE score.
Applicants must submit a waiver request and receive waiver approval prior to submitting their application.
Applicants still enrolled in their final year of undergraduate study will not be evaluated for a waiver until the Graduate Admissions Office receives a transcript that indicates a bachelor's degree was conferred.
Applicants with undergraduate or master’s degrees from non-US institutions are required to submit an official English translation of all academic credentials, along with a third party degree verification from an agency such as SpanTran or World Education Services (WES).
The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request applicants to submit a GMAT/GRE score if necessary.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at cgsomapp@bc.edu.
