Bschool GMAT waiver

Question

Hello,

I need few information on Bschool GMAT waiver.
I am planning to apply in ROSS in fall 2021.Recently I have heard that Ross has waived off GMAT for next 2 years.
So I wanted to know whether it would be better to apply with a waiver Request or with an GMAT old score 690.
I also wanted to know whether my application would be negatively impacted if I apply with GMAT waiver.

Thanks,
Swati

Wow!!! I did not know that B-school waived the GMAT criteria. If they removed it, then only on the basis of application and interview a candidate will select?

I think GMAT is waived off till application but a person need to provide GMAT score within some time limit.

You can apply for a test waiver and not need to take the GMAT at all. In the video, Soojin and Meredith explain how they will evaluate the applications in such cases.

FWIW, Sloan waived the GMAT requirement too for this year.

swtguha : What is the split between your Verbal and Quant scores? Is one stronger than the other? What was your college GPA? The answers to those questions will actually play an important role in your decision. If you're asking for me to draw a line in the sand based on all I know, I would say do not submit the score. By the nature of your question alone, you too are admitting that the GMAT is not going to be a strength in your application and could potentially be a slight weakness or question mark in your application. A 690 is still a great score but given the sheer level of competitiveness this year and likely the one expected near year, you may be best not leaving that to chance. Would you consider retaking the exam? What have you got to lose? As you think about preparing your Ross application, feel free to reach out to us at Admissionado.
