Your Online MBA or Weekend MBA application is reviewed holistically, looking at your experience, skills, and the unique perspective you bring to the program.
We provide two test alternatives to demonstrate your readiness for the program, without taking the GMAT/GRE:
You may be eligible for a test waiver based on your academic or professional background. A waiver can be requested in the ‘Test information’ section of your application.
Test Waiver Criteria:
Earned an undergraduate or graduate degree in business, economics, or a STEM-related major with a GPA of 3.4 or higher
Hold a CPA, CFA, or equivalent
Hold a PhD, MD, or JD
University of Michigan alumni with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher (regardless of degree major)
A few things to consider when applying for a test waiver:
- Test waivers are not provided for any other reasons
- A granted waiver does not guarantee admission
- Your application must be submitted before your waiver request is reviewed
- The decisions of the admissions committee are final
After your application is submitted, the waiver criteria will be confirmed and an admissions team member will contact you via email within approximately 10 business days with the waiver confirmation.
If you are not granted a waiver but would still like to be considered for admission, you can: submit a GRE or GMAT score, Executive Assessment, or successfully complete the QRC. Some recruiters (specifically those in competitive industries) seeking to hire Ross MBAs may use standardized test scores as part of their initial candidate screening process. Application fees are non-refundable.
