GMAT/GRE/Executive Assessment
Simon Business School wants you to submit your most competitive application for admission. For some, a standardized test score propels their candidacy to the next level.
The GMAT, GRE, or Executive Assessment supports your application for MBA study and provides an assessment of verbal, quantitative, and analytical skills. Standardized test scores not only add dimension and bolster the competitiveness of your application, but for some industries—such as investment banking and consulting—prospective employers expect to see a GMAT score while reviewing your candidacy. In addition, we recommend taking the GMAT, GRE, or EA to demonstrate your quantitative capabilities if you have limited exposure to math or business courses in your undergraduate education.
If you have already taken a standardized test:
Check out our MBA class profile—if your score falls within or above the middle 80% range, we recommend that you submit it in your application as an additional data point for the Admissions Committee to consider. If your score falls below the middle 80%, learn more about our standardized test waiver request process below. (If you request a waiver when you submit your application, you may be contacted if it would be in your best interest to retake your standardized test to improve your scores and boost the competitiveness of your application.)
A multi-dimensional waiver review.
We offer standardized test waivers to candidates whose academic record, work experience, or other credentials are well rounded and competitive. Here are examples of the metrics we consider:
- Rigor of your undergraduate studies
- Proficiency in quantitative courses
- Certifications such as CFA or CPA
- Relevant work experience
- Undergraduate GPA and major
Please note that being granted a standardized test waiver does not automatically signal that you will be admitted. The Admissions Committee will do a holistic review of your complete application to determine if you will be extended an offer of admission.
If you are requesting a waiver:
Do not add a GMAT/GRE/Executive Assessment on the Test Scores page in the application.
You will provide supporting documentation throughout your application (e.g., résumé, transcripts, certifications). Please make sure you’re following all instructions to ensure our team has the information they need to review your waiver request. If you submit an incomplete application, you may experience a delay in the review of your request.
You will be contacted after your application has been reviewed if it would be in your best interest to provide a standardized test score to boost the competitiveness of your application.
Send us your résumé to get feedback on your overall candidacy before you apply. (Please note that this feedback will not necessarily be able to confirm the receipt of a waiver.)
