As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there are business schools that either do not require the GMAT for admission or offer waivers based on certain criteria. Keep in mind that admission requirements can change, and it’s essential to verify the most up-to-date information directly from the official websites of the respective business schools. Additionally, some schools may accept alternative tests such as the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). Here are a few examples:
University of Chicago Booth School of Business – USA:
Booth offers applicants the flexibility to submit either the GMAT, GRE, or an application for a test waiver based on professional experience.
MIT Sloan School of Management – USA:
MIT Sloan allows applicants to submit either the GMAT or the GRE. They do not have a preference for one test over the other.
University of Virginia Darden School of Business – USA:
Darden accepts both GMAT and GRE scores. They do not prefer one test over the other.
London Business School (LBS) – United Kingdom:
LBS accepts both the GMAT and GRE for their MBA program. They do not have a preference for either test.
IE Business School – Spain:
IE Business School accepts both the GMAT and GRE for their MBA programs.
University of Southern California Marshall School of Business – USA:

Remember to check the latest admission requirements for each business school you are interested in, as policies can change. Additionally, individual circumstances, such as significant professional experience or advanced degrees, may sometimes lead to GMAT waivers, even at schools that typically require the test. Always consult the official admissions information provided by the schools for the most accurate and current details.
