The GMAT and GRE standardized tests are used as one of multiple factors to determine your readiness for the academic rigor of our program. If you would like to apply for a test waiver, we will look closely at your academic and professional accomplishments, including but not limited to: 

• Strong undergraduate or graduate record, especially in analytical or quantitative courses
• Master's degree in an analytical or quantitative discipline
• CPA, CFA, or international equivalent
• At least five years of progressive post-undergraduate, full-time work experience in an analytical or quantitative field
• Strong performance on an expired GMAT or GRE
• Strong performance on the Executive Assessment

Candidates demonstrating multiple academic and/or professional accomplishments as listed above are more likely to be granted a waiver. Please note that we accept the MCAT, LSAT, PCAT, and DAT as standardized tests for the application, and a waiver request is not required to submit one of those scores. Students who are currently enrolled at U-M Medical, Law, Pharmacy, and Dental do not need to submit a test score.

The TOEFL, IELTS, and PTE are used in conjunction with the other components of your application to determine English communication skills. If you would like to be considered for a waiver, we will look for evidence of immersive academic and/or professional work where English was the primary language, including but not limited to:

• Graduate transcripts from a school where English was the primary language of instruction
• Proof of working in a job where English was the primary language of communication for at least one year within the past three years
• Strong performance on an expired TOEFL/PTE/IELTS test

Candidates demonstrating multiple academic and/or professional accomplishments listed as examples are more likely to be granted a waiver.
