Hey Viraj,

Today I received my admit from UBC Sauder. But I don’t know about the GMAT requirement waiver. I did submit my score.

Many colleges are taking this step of waiving GMAT. But obviously your profile needs to be strong on other aspects to ensure admit.

Hi Viraj,

This is great that they have waived the GMAT for you. Could maybe give me some more information on that? I am also an applicant for January 2021 intake and have not been able to give my GMAT due to the current situation.

Any other information on your application now that the GMAT is waived?

Shrinkhla21 , congratulation on the admit, would you be joining Sauder in January?

Thanks,
Chintan

Hey Chintan.

The Sauder process took the most time around 2.5 months. In the meantime, I have paid my commitment fees at a German B-school. So it’s a tough choice to make. Still thinking.

Hi Nishant

Could you advise the areas on which you need inputs.

In case you have yet not started on your essays would advise that you do a SWOT analysis for your self and then go through the program details and see which points resonate with you.

Hi everyone,

I am applying for the UBC MBAN program. I would like to apply for the GMAT/GRE waiver. However, when I complete the application form, I am stuck with the section 'Standardized Test'. I would like to know if I am applying for the GMAT/GRE waiver, how should I fill out this section? (It seems like the information for this section is required to be filled and I cannot leave it blank.)

Moreover, may I ask where should I upload the statement of qualification?

Best,

Ry

Ryyy I have posted the same query in this year's topic here https://gmatclub.com/forum/calling-all- ... l#p2701667

Umesh14uv · Answer

This is what I posted in other chat as well:

The application should be submitted with normal GMAT planned/superficial dates, with a letter named "Statement of Qualification" requesting a waiver.
After initial review, they grant the waiver and send the approval email.
