Congratulations on all the offers! Hoping you can get some scholarships offered come December and some $$ to make the choice easier!
P.S. If you are able to get a decent GRE score or a solid GMAT score for R2, that will improve your chances of both admit and $$ but if you can't get a solid score, then not worth it.

Thank you for the assessment. As of now I am focusing on converting my admission interview. Based on the results in December, I will decide the next steps. Anyways, appearing for GMAT/GRE won't hurt since a few employers look for GMAT/GRE score in the recruitment process.

I have actually heard (that's over the last 2-3 years) that employers are much less concerned with the GMAT these days and esp since people go in with GRE, EA, and test waivers. The rule is that if you have a 720+ score, you put it on the resume but if you have nothing, nobody asks or rejects you if you don't have one, so don't feel that's the big driver really.

P.S. Schools have been generous with merit scholarships which are for GMAT and GPA (international GPA does not count unfortunately) and since you have a waiver, the only opportunity is getting a diversity scholarship but those are usually for exotic applicants. So GMAT would give you a chance to save $$ but not sure 2 months would be enough to get it done, so think what's best for your applications in R2.

Hi Amit, this is Niharika. I have 9.6 years of experience in consulting and 3.27 GPA. I would like to request for a GMAT waiver to Emory. I am unable to find the test waiver application on the website. Can you please help? Do I send an email to them before the waiver deadline?

It seems it is a part of their application -
Quote:
To apply for a test waiver, complete the Test Waiver Application and submit all supporting documents. Decisions are released within approximately 10 to 14 business days.
