GMAT/GRE Waiver Request - Executive MBA Programs

Please fill out the form below to be considered for a GMAT/GRE waiver for our Evening, Charlotte and Weekend Executive MBA programs. Upload your resume and all unofficial academic transcripts as part of the waiver consideration process. If you have any questions, contact emba@unc.edu or 919-962-9129.

GMAT/GRE Policy

UNC Kenan-Flagler requires either an official GMAT or GRE score or an approved GMAT Waiver for all applicants applying to the Executive MBA programs who have less than 5 years of full-time, professional work experience.

If you have fewer than 5 years of professional, full-time work experience at the time of application, you may qualify for a GMAT/GRE waiver if you satisfy our admission requirements AND meet one of the following:

CPA or CFA designation
Master's or PhD in a technical field
Terminal degree (e.g. JD, MD)
Significant academic or professional quantitative experience

If you have not taken either test and do not have a quantitative background, we often recommend courses in accounting or statistics in lieu of the GMAT/GRE. This helps you build a stronger analytical foundation which leads to a successful classroom experience.

An approved GMAT/GRE waiver does not guarantee admission to the program.

Please note: Our Full-Time MBA, Online MBA and Executive MBA programs have individual waiver request processes and requirements.

You should complete the above form only if you are interested in applying to our Evening, Charlotte or Weekend Executive MBA programs. If you are interested in applying to our Full-Time MBA or Online MBA programs, you can access the waiver request within the application for those programs.
