Our Process
How It Works
Assess Your Waiver Eligibility
5+ years of work experience is the most common waiver criterion. A GPA of 3.5+, professional certifications (CA, CFA, CPA), or GRE scores can also substitute. EduVed evaluates your profile and identifies where you qualify for waivers.
Target GMAT-Waiver Programs
UK: Warwick, Cranfield, Durham, and many others offer waivers for experienced candidates. Canada: many universities including Alberta and Calgary. Australia: most Group of Eight MBA programs. EduVed shortlists GMAT-waiver programs ranked appropriate for your profile.
GRE as GMAT Alternative
Many MBA programs accept GRE in place of GMAT. GRE Verbal 155+, Quantitative 155+ is roughly equivalent to GMAT 650+. EduVed advises on whether GRE is easier for your specific strengths.
Executive MBA Route
Executive MBA (EMBA) programs are specifically designed for senior managers (10+ years experience) and typically do not require GMAT. EduVed identifies EMBA programs at top schools matched to your seniority level.
Write a Strong Waiver Request
When applying for a GMAT waiver, a compelling waiver request letter that quantifies your professional achievements is critical. EduVed writes persuasive GMAT waiver request letters that maximise approval chances.
Complete Application Without GMAT
A strong application without GMAT requires an exceptional SOP, strong references, and a compelling professional narrative. EduVed manages your complete MBA application package.
