* Submit a Statement of Qualification:
GMAT/GRE waivers are not guaranteed, and approvals are made on a case-by-case basis. If a waiver cannot be granted, applicants will receive a notification that a GMAT or GRE test will be required for their application to move forward, hence the importance of being specific and detailed in your GMAT/GRE waiver Statement of Qualification.
