Simon Business School encourages submission of a GMAT or GRE to support your application for MS study and to provide an assessment of verbal, quantitative, and analytical skills. If you are unable or prefer not to submit a standardized test score, please note that you may waive this requirement if you meet one of the following criteria:
- GPA of 3.2 or higher on a scale of 4.0 or 4.3
- GPA of 3.5 or higher on a scale of 4.5
- GPA of 7.5 or higher on a scale of 10
- GPA of 82% or higher (out of 100%)
- “First Class with Distinction” division
- “First Class” division
If you have documentation to verify your institution’s GPA scale or your degree’s classification and your cumulative GPA per the criteria above, you do not need to provide a WES or Josef Silny educational credential evaluation. If you do not have the documentation to prove to the Admissions Committee that you meet the waiver criteria, you will need a credential evaluation from a third party, such as WES or Josef Silny, in order for us to approve your test waiver.
Regardless of your cumulative GPA and eligibility for a test score waiver, if you have limited or weak performance in math or business courses, we recommend either taking non-matriculated courses or submitting a standardized test score to demonstrate your capabilities.
