THREE INSTANCES
WHEN TO REQUEST FOR A
GMAT WAIVER
The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is a
standardized test that is used for admission into a graduate
program and is a requirement for most of the graduate
programs around the world.
There are some instances when a GMAT waiver can be
offered for an MBA admission. The conditions for the GMAT
waiver have to be fulfilled in order to be eligible for an MBA
program without giving the GMAT exam and it is the discretion
of the school to allow students without a GMAT qualification to
be eligible for the program.
Later on, we will identify the instances whence a GMAT
becomes dispensable. And, there will also be a discussion
about a GMAT waiver request letter sample.

1
HOLDER OF A HIGHER DEGREE;
VERY HIGH GPA SCORES;
RELEVANT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
The basic requirements for a GMAT waiver to be considered
and which shall be included in a GMAT waiver essay are
previous academic and co-curricular record of the student in
the undergraduate and lower levels of education. If the student
has displayed excellent academic results, has great analytical
and mathematical skills which radiate from his academic
record, has a sound interest in other activities apart from
studies and has shown good verbal skills throughout, he or she
may be eligible for a GMAT waiver. This is mostly the case for
many institutes and the students who fulfill this criterion
usually have an exceptional CV and overall personality, which
make them fit for an MBA program.

RELEVANT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
The school then has to decide whether the student is fit
enough to be admitted into the program and whether the
credentials of the past are worthy and of note. Another
important consideration is the background of the school
from which he graduated. If the school has a good repute
and is known for its high standards, the student will be
preferred regardless of the GMAT exam and this is a
criterion that is not common, but is applied in some
instances. Make sure that your GMAT waiver letter will
convince the admissions committee to spare you from
taking the GMAT.

EMPLOYED
Some institutions dispense with the GMAT requirement for
applicants who have been in extensive professional practice
relevant to the MBA degree applied for. According to some
studies those whose work experience is short, or those who do
not have any, tend to be weaker in academic performance than
those who have been working for years. To ensure the quality
of students produced, some institutions mandatorily require
applicants with less than two years of working experience to
take their GMAT, and those with more than two years of
professional experience are spared from taking the exam. For
applicants currently under employment make sure to include
in detail your work experience in the GMAT waiver request
letter.

CERTIFIED/LICENSED
PROFESSIONAL CURRENTLY
EMPLOYED
In writing a waiver letter, and if you are currently employed,
focus on perfecting the “work history” essay portion of the
application. Sometimes some institutions may also require a
resume. In that portion, one is recommended to highlight the
job responsibilities demanded from you. And if you have been
assigned to different tasks, include the number of months or
years that you served in the position. Also include any
professional certifications or licenses with a quantitative focus,
i.e. board ratings, or scores.

Check out for a GMAT waiver letter sample over the internet,
or simply ask for one from the writer assigned to you by this
online service. Use the sample as a guideline in coming up with
your own waiver letter. You may submit that draft to the writer
and expect some revisions to perfect the same. Not only
samples are available but also personal discourses with the
writer. You may fill in some suggestions and air out concerns
regarding the letter.
3
AT LEAST 5 YEARS OF
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
In one class, most of the students of an MBA degree program
are businessmen. And most of these students have been
running their businesses for at least five years already.
Institutions offering MBA degree automatically waive the
GMAT requirement on these students. Precisely, MBA is all
about business and no GMAT beats experience in running your
own business. Applicants who squarely fit in this third instance
are expected to have gained ground on the business sector.
And all they need to get a waiver is to write a waiver letter
narrating his business experience in concise detail.
3
AT LEAST 5 YEARS OF
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
In Williams College of Business, their policy states: Creating a diverse
community of students is an essential element of Xavier’s MBA
programs. Our students bring unique experiences and perspectives to
our classrooms, facilitating a rich, collaborative learning environment.
Foregoing the GMAT/GRE permits established, mid-career individuals
to focus on their graduate studies – tapping their experience, skills, and
ideas – and not having to divert time, energy, and funding to a
standardized test.” Experience in their own businesses, skills acquired,
and ideas put in to run the business are required to be included in the
letter of waiver.
