It is my understanding that at Johnson, you need to complete and submit your application before being considered for a test waiver. Do you have to pay the application fee before even seeing whether you have been granted a test waiver? Posted from my mobile device

Thanks a lot. Do you have any sense of how easy or difficult it is to be granted a waiver? I have gathered that at Cornell it is much easier to receive a waiver as compared to Darden or Ross. But I could be wrong. Posted from my mobile device

As a data point, I was granted a waiver for Darden, Ross, Stern and Cornell. I am waitlisted at Darden and pending review by adcom at Cornell and Stern. Haven't applied to Ross yet. Additional data points are 3.21 undergrad gpa, licensed CPA, blend of audit/M&A advisory at Big 4 and an alternative practice firm, respectively. I am guessing my 3.2 GPA isn't helping me given I do not have a GMAT score as an additional data point, b/c my extracurriculars/ability to interface with people is probably 99 percentile. I am a terrible standardized test taker and tried/failed with GMAT, so I am either getting in with a waiver or not going at all b/c anything below these schools are not worth the time/money investment compared to the track I am on now. Good luck!

sunshinedaydream , Hi, congrats! I have a queey about the CPA status. Can you help me by clarifying my queries please. Thank you!

I can help with questions regarding CPA too

VikramJolly , Hi Vikram thank you for the response. I have some queries. Like to maintain the CPA status every year we need to get any approval from other CPA regarding the work experience? I have no idea on this so asking. Also what if a person got a CPA and active status, when he/she want to do higher stuides for 2 or 3 years or a phd which goes multiple years, in this case how they can maintain their status as they will be out of work. Thank you!

You need cpe credits to maintain CPA status. Work experience is required for licensing. https://www.mncpa.org/boa-rules-certifi ... ctive-cpa/ Can refer the link for active/ inactive CPA

Thank you! So once the initial license is obtained, by keeping the CPE credits every year will still enable us to have an active CPA license even if we are out of job?
