MBA without GMAT?

Submitted by Jeremy Smith

Are there any good schools that allow you to get your MBA without taking the GMAT?

I really want to get my MBA, but my quant scores aren't so great. Would it be worth applying to schools that don't require the GMAT or should I retake the exam?

All the top business schools require a GMAT or GRE score. The GRE has an easier quant section than the GMAT, so you might get a better score on the GRE. Take a practice GRE exam to test out the quant section for yourself to see if you do any better than the GMAT. 

If your goal is to get into a top business school, a test score is a must. I would either retake the GMAT or take the GRE if I feel like I'm scoring better on practice tests than the GMAT.

I am an IT professional with over 7 years of experience. Currently working in an Indian IT major as a Technical PreSales Consultant. I want to appear for MBA without GMAT. My budget is 20-25L INR. What are the MBA options that I can choose from....

It depends. Some reputable MBA programs are willing to waive the GMAT/GRE if you have some years of professional experience.
--IE offers a GXMBA w/o the GMAT. For their traditional MBAs, you can opt for the GMAT/GRE or an exam designed by the school.
--Golden Gate University (if you wanted to stay in the US) offers GMAT waiver to students with +3.5 undergrad GPA and a lot of other reasons. It may not make the best of school lists, but I happen to know quite a few GGU graduates who are in excellent positions in Silicon Valley.

I suppose a more comprehensive response requires to know what your goals are, how much experience you have, whether you want a traditional or non-traditional program, interested in international experience, etc.

Lastly, I would suggest a private tutor for the quant section. They'll give you an assessment to identify strengths/ weaknesses and teach you only what you need to know. It often comes out to less time and money than what a full GMAT prep course would take.
