    Guys, is there any way doing an MBA without the GMAT?

      Hi there,

      thank you for your question. Well, there are fulltime MBA programs that do not require the GMAT. I guess you are interested in fulltime MBAs, right?

      The GMAT, however, often - not always - is a signal that a school is very restrictive in selecting its students. And being restrictive often means that the students have a great quality - and that means that the school is a high reputation among employers...

      Some schools by the way require the GMAT and offer an alternative test at the same time. This test is designed by themselves and offered on campus. I have never done such a test - but from what I hear this test seems to be easier than the GMAT.

      You can use our Search Filter "Entry requirements" to search for programs that do not require the GMAT.

      I do, however, recommend you to take the GMAT. It is tough but a good exercise and with a score of 600 points at minimum you provide the minimum score to be accepted for good programs.

      Best wishes
      Thomas
