GMAT/GRE Waiver for U.S. Military
The Wisconsin Full-Time MBA Program seeks to build a well-rounded class with diverse professional, academic, and personal backgrounds. U.S. active military and U.S. veteran applicants can apply for admission without a GMAT or GRE score to the full-time MBA program if the following requirements are met:
- An undergraduate degree from a U.S. accredited university or college with a GPA of 3.3 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).
- Grade of B or higher in the following undergraduate courses:
- Economics
- Statistics or one advanced math course
For admission to the program, your academic ability will be evaluated on your undergraduate transcripts. Graduate transcripts will be taken into consideration, as well as any other transcript you submit that has a course for grade. However, if you do submit a GMAT or GRE at admission, that test score will be used when reviewing your candidacy.
