Does Owen Vanderbilt accept without GRE or GMAT?
"Kelley offers test waivers for GMAT and GRE on a selective basis. You will have to apply for a test waiver in advance and will usually be notified within 2 weeks about qualifying.
Applicants who demonstrate multiple examples of academic and quantitative aptitude are more likely to receive a waiver. Examples of relevant quantitative success include, but are not limited to:
-strong performance in previous quantitative and analytical coursework at the undergraduate or graduate level,
-five or more years of professional work experience with proven quantitative or analytical experience, and
-earning a CPA or CFA certification or additional professional certification.
There are some important factors to consider before requesting a test waiver:
-We cannot offer a test waiver if you have already submitted a self-reported or official GMAT, GRE, or EA test score to Vanderbilt University.
-Applicants are evaluated for a test waiver once per cycle and we are unable to accept appeal requests.
-Ensure you are putting together the strongest application. Consider whether a test score can be used as an additional data point to showcase your academic potential.
-Some employers may request a test score as part of their MBA hiring process. This is particularly true in industries such as consulting or finance.
-An approved test waiver is not an admissions decision or an indication of an admissions decision."
