GMAT/GRE Requirements

Given their academic and co-op/professional experience, all BS/MBA students will be reviewed for waivers of normal MBA standardized testing requirements when they submit the above materials. At that time, LeBow Graduate Admissions will review each applicant’s academic history and co-op/professional experience to determine waiver eligibility within 2-3 weeks.

Any applicant who is not eligible for a waiver can work with LeBow Graduate Admissions to complete the LeBow Quantitative Assessment; an in-house exam offered by LeBow free of charge in lieu of normal standardized testing requirements to assess candidates ability for success in graduate level coursework. LeBow Graduate Admissions will contact any candidates who are required to complete the LeBow Quantitative Assessment to provide additional information on test content, preparation, scheduling and other logistical information.
