Ross said 31% of their batch admits had GMAT waivers

So dunno if these people are not on gmatclub or there’s a catch

One of Darden’s adcom member did say she doesn’t approve of the GMAT waiver and whosoever is going ahead with that is a risky proposition

You can follow the FULL LIST of Standardized GMAT GRE Test waivers for the 2021-2022 on the ARINGO blog: https://www.aringo.com/getting-accepted-into-top-mba-programs-with-no-gmat-yes-you-can/

We have asked for and received GMAT and GRE waivers for our candidates from most of the schools on the list (MIT, NYU, Cornell, Darden, Ross...) Mccombs seems to be the only school that did not grant a waiver to our candidates (we are 0 from 3 there :) ).

In regards to interviews. YES! ARINGO candidates without a GMAT have received already interviews to several schools like Ross and Darden (+ an acceptance to Darden!). we are still waiting for the rest to announce the interviews (most results should be published within a week)

GOOD LUCK!

Ent8180 hi,
Shimri from ARINGO here
We have helped around 20 of our candidates submit GMAT Waivers this year.
Although the waiver request length changes from school to school (100 words at Cornell vs. 300 at MIT), the key elements should remain the same
1. You are very analytical
2. You are very academic
3. You have a fantastic professional experience
4. Some sort of COVID related issue preventing you from studying or taking the GMAT
5. You really want their MBA program...
6. Something unique about you / your application / your profile

Our candidates received waivers to MIT, NYU, Cornell, Kelley, UNC, USC, Mccombs, Ross, Darden, BU and more
(and even received offers to Darden and Georgia Tech with scholarships!)

Happy to assist (as always, I am on [email protected])
GOOD LUCK!

Should we have to give a reason of covid for the waiver? like should you or anyone in family be diagnosed of covid or is it implied that due to difficult conditions its not possible?

A few schools don't require scores at all. But no information upon waiver so far.

Like I said. Master programs don’t usually have waivers. It’s either school never require them or won’t accept an application without a score.

I see, also wanted to know if we can submit the official GMAT scores after the application deadline? or they are needed at time of application? i am planning to take the GMAT a week before application deadline dates so i am not sure if official score would be received by then. How does this work?
