Kellogg has waived the GMAT/GRE/TOEFL/IELTS requirement.Are we witnessing an apocalypse already?
Their e-mail is as follows:-
"To say that we're in the midst of widespread change is an understatement. And we understand — having spoken with thousands of people in your shoes over the years — that this might affect your decision to apply to business school.
We also know that the online options for the GMAT and GRE that became available recently do not accommodate everyone and present the added challenges of studying in a crunched timeline.
Your goals matter, and nothing about the disruption you are experiencing — from changes in your career path to difficulty in accessing testing centers — should hold you back. To that end, we will now waive the GMAT/GRE/TOEFL/IELTS requirement on our Full-Time MBA application throughout the rest of Round 3. The rolling deadline remains in place through June 1.
I've published a post that goes through the details on Inside Kellogg. I encourage you to read it and contact us with further questions via
MBAadmissions@kellogg.northwestern.edu or (847) 491-3308.
My team and I want you to get to the other side of this disruption, look back, and feel good that you made the right decisions for your future. We wish you well during these trying times and are eager to support you as you move forward throughout the application process."
I checked their application page. Is it only for those who have an ongoing application? Can a fresh application be started with no requirement for Tests?
