How to request a GMAT/GRE Waiver:

1. Submit your application.
   GMAT/GRE waiver requests must meet specific criteria (above) and are reviewed during the application process. The test score waiver request form is found in your application as part of the Degree Program section. The form is titled “Entrance Exam Waiver Consideration Request.” Be sure to include all requested documentation.
