"Just how there are many ways to find the right fit in an online MBA program, many business schools are acknowledging that there are many ways to find the right fit in an online MBA student," explains Tammie Cagle, Editor of MBA Central. The GMAT was initially conceived to be the best benchmark to find those with the most potential to be a good MBA student. But some business schools are starting to change the process to be a bit more holistic, and allow other attributes and accomplishments to show a student's affinity for an MBA. Some schools will grant automatic waivers based upon different degrees a student may hold, professional experience, or previous GPA s. But just because a school might waive the GMAT requirement, doesn't mean that they take the application process less seriously. These programs still offer the same rigorous programs of study. They raise the bar in accessibility and allow students to start their path in an MBA instead of spending time preparing for the GMAT test.
