GMAT/GRE waivers will be considered when an applicant has submitted all documents minus a GMAT/GRE score. The admissions committee will consider previous work experience, an applicant’s verbal and quantitative skills based on prior academic performance and other factors to help validate the applicant’s ability to be successful in a graduate program. Those candidates wanting to apply or be considered for the Dean’s Excellence scholarship must submit a GMAT or GRE score.
Otherwise, a competitive GMAT or GRE score, no more than five years old by the date of application, is encouraged from all applicants, except for:
- Candidates who have a doctoral degree, such as a PhD, MD, or Juris Doctor.
- High-achieving candidates may request a GMAT/GRE waiver if they have obtained:
- Their undergraduate degree is from a university with an AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accredited business school (regardless of their major), and they achieved a GPA at or above 3.600. Please check with us at mshclm@utdallas.edu for other waiver levels.
- Their graduate degree is from a university with an AACSB-accredited business school (regardless of their degree’s area of focus), and they achieved a GPA at or above 3.600. Please check with us at mshclm@utdallas.edu for other waiver levels.
