Top school with no GMAT?

Recently, Fortune Magazine ran an article on how to apply to business school without the GMAT. The link is below.


During Covid, there was all of a sudden more flexibility on the GMAT. Our candidates applied to great schools with no GMAT, sometimes with good results. There are indeed schools that will accept work-arounds to the GMAT– but will they post Covid?


For Master of Finance, I don’t recommend skipping GMAT, although I can propose a few names if you insist.


For a MiM, it’s a bit easier, as some top names let you get around it.


For the MBA, the top schools that are gateways to top salaries all have GMAT averages over 700. Having said that, there are some solid EU schools that offer a work-around, but don’t expect a top-10.


The bottom line: a good GMAT score make the process much easier, and the elite schools will not consider an application without.


No GMAT creates a situation where you are playing without all the cards, but this is not always a bad strategy.


I am reluctant to publish non-GMAT schools, so reach out privately for your free admissions appraisal. Link to article: https://fortune.com/education/articles/how-to-build-a-strong-mba-application-with-no-gmat/

Andy GMAT 665

“I am not a native speaker and not the greatest student ever. I really had to get a high score to overcome my lackluster student performance. Nicholas pushed me through on quant, which I started to enjoy (for the first time in my life). I scored in the top 93rd percentile, which means anyone else can too with the right approach. School choice: INSEAD.

Marina, GMAT 700

I am the first to admit that I underestimated GMAT. It is a challenging exam. I have advanced science degrees and expected it to be a formality. The first time I took it without much preparation and I messed up the timing. Luckily I reached out for help and I am happy that I did. It made my Stanford MBA dream possible!"

Ron, GMAT 740

As a German consultant working in Zurich, I had to distinguish myself from my peer-group. Most of fellow analysts apply for top MBAs, so were are over-represented at the top schools. I took GMAT seriously and ended up with a 740.  I also got help creating a visionary application storyline to grab the attention of the adcom– and to differentiate myself from other applicants with similar consulting backgrounds."
