Standardized Test (GMAT or GRE) Waiver Requests

Applicants to the Marshall Full-Time MBA Program for the Fall 2022 entering class may choose to request a test waiver. Because The Consortium application is distinct from the traditional Marshall application, such waiver requests should come directly to the Marshall MBA Admissions Office by following the steps below:

• Step #1 – Carefully review the Standardized Test Waiver Policy as well as our Test Waiver FAQs  to obtain a full understanding of test waivers.
• Step #2 – Submit a test waiver request using the form below. If possible, these requests should be submitted well in advance of the submission of your Consortium application.
• Step #3 – The Marshall Admissions Office will provide you with a decision by email regarding your test waiver request within 10 business days of your submission of the Waiver Request Form (see below) along with appropriate supporting documentation.
• Step #4 – If granted a test waiver, Marshall will alert the Consortium on your behalf that you have been provided a test waiver. If you are not granted a waiver, you will need to submit a GMAT or GRE score along with your Consortium application in order to be considered for admission.
