Hi EtaCarnia, gosh, I am mostly familiar with top MBA programs in the US and Europe, and yes, there are programs that are currently waiving the GMAT within that group that are excellent schools, but those are likely still going to be difficult. These schools include MIT Sloan, UVA Darden, Michigan Ross, Indiana Kelley, UNC Kenan-Flagler, Cornell/Cornell Tech and I believe UT McCombs. However, you usually need to be approved at most of these for a test waiver and the requirements can be rigorous. Even if you do get approved, there will usually be more scrutiny at other parts of your application, like your GPA.

I am not sure what you mean by "good" -- often this means "selective" to some candidates...which makes this a challenging problem to solve. I would say that in the US, you want to look at schools outside the top 25; alternatively you can consider perhaps some online programs? I think you're smart to be looking at Canada -- try there, and then adjust. Remember that business schools are looking for accomplishments (so your savings initiative is good) over responsibilities, and leadership qualities not just participation. Good luck!!!

Warmly,
Julie-Anne Heafey

Hey mbaMission ,

Yeah i understand. I don't have a competitive GMAT score that's why i am not considering US business schools. Can you suggest some business schools in Canada, where i have a chance of getting in.

Thanks

Hi again, well, I'm not super familiar with the Canadian programs with lower averages, or which programs in Canada are waiving the GMAT, but glancing at the averages for top 20 Canadian programs, I'd be focused on the lower half, ones with averages under 600...looks like DeGroote could fit that (and has a waiver); Alberta and Sauder might be tougher to crack. It looks like Schulich might have a waiver. You have to check program by program, though, and see what the requirements are; sometimes you need to meet certain requirements or complete a petition. Good luck!

Warmly,
