Executive MBA Candidates only As a general policy, the McColl School of Business requires the GMAT or GRE for all applicants. The GMAT or GRE should be completed as part of the application for admission. The McColl School will consider requests for test waivers from candidates for the Executive MBA Program only. The Admissions Committee will consider GMAT/GRE waiver requests from candidates who wish to know whether the test will be waived before submitting a completed application. The GMAT/GRE may be waived in situations where extensive work experience or educational background, or a combination of the two, provide considerable evidence regarding an individual s quantitative and verbal competencies that would otherwise be measured by the GMAT or GRE. The Admissions Committee will attempt to make all waiver decisions in a timely manner, but will require the following information before any decision is granted: A brief, one-page written request outlining the reasons why the Admissions Committee should grant a waiver. This request should highlight work or professional experiences and academic endeavors that provide evidence of your quantitative experience and verbal/written aptitude. This must be submitted (via either email or regular mail) to Queens University of Charlotte, McColl School of Business Graduate Admissions, 1900 Selwyn Avenue, Charlotte, NC 28274 or mba@queens.edu. Copies of all transcripts for all work completed at any college or university, whether or not a degree was granted. A current resume outlining the specific job duties and functions of each position held after college graduation. Any other information that the candidate wishes to submit to the Admissions Committee in support of the request. When the admissions office has received all of the necessary information outlined above, you will be contacted regarding whether or not a GMAT/GRE waiver interview is required. In no case will a GMAT/GRE waiver be granted for candidates who do not hold an undergraduate degree. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request supplemental information from any candidate before a test waiver decision is made. Any Admissions Committee decision regarding waiver of the GMAT/GRE is final. 7 Not just a degree. An experience.
