When reviewing test waiver requests for Consortium Applicants, we will look closely at your past academic and professional accomplishments, including but not limited to:
- Having earned a STEM, business, or analytical/quantitative- focused undergraduate or graduate degree, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, second class upper division honors, or international equivalent.
- Holding a professional certification such as CPA or CFA or international equivalent (please include on resume).
- Post-undergraduate, full-time work experience in an analytical or quantitative function, demonstrated on resume.
- Having completed a pre-MBA quantitative program like MBA Math or Harvard CORe.
Additional Guidelines:
- Waivers are granted case-by-case and decisions are final.
- Approval of a waiver request does not guarantee admission.
- Test waiver decisions will be emailed to applicants within 15 business days from the time the request is submitted. If declined for a test waiver, applicants who wish to continue in the admissions process must provide test scores in their application.
- Applicants requesting test waiver requests should not submit test scores unless instructed to do so by USC Marshall Graduate Admissions.
