Apollo1212, Can you tell us about your experience getting a test waiver?

Was it simple as submitting a request?

Yeah it’s a streamlined process. There’s a test waiver request form you need to fill out - Standard stuff like undergraduate information, GPA, transcripts, work experience, resume, post-MBA goal, and an essay/short statement for academic readiness.

What i would note is that Stern mentions that it requests are reviewed within 5-6 weeks of submission. So one should careful note their intended application round if they want to go through the test waiver process.

Its more than other b-schools which takes around 1-2 weeks at max. I hope they seriously consider international applicants who requests for a waiver.

Sb1992, yes it seems longer but can’t know for sure since they say WITHIN 5-6 weeks. I got a waiver in 2 weeks but i also applied for one pretty early. YMMV

I don’t think there’s any group as such. They just want to see you handle the academic rigor. Having strong undergrad performance is a good thing, especially if it’s in a quantitative field. The other thing that is a good indication of getting a test waiver is work experience. If you work in a quantitative field, then you’re more likely to get a waiver

What’s the possibility of GMAT waiver if undergraduate degree is in arts/design?

Again, can’t quantify your chances. And undergraduate degree is one data point. You should apply if you think it will help your application. Not getting a test waiver is not indicative of your chances of getting an admission offer.

Unfortunately there’s no way to know. I’m also an applicant and test scores are one part of your application. You must’ve heard of the term “Holistic”.

I'm an international applicant from Southeast Asia and I received the test waiver. My work experience is only 2 years though so I'm a bit nervous about using the waiver

Don’t know how much this waiver will favor the international applicants. NYU is quite selective I believe.
