Many MBA programs no longer require the GMAT, making these exams optional or conditional based on specific criteria. While some business schools have eliminated standardized testing requirements entirely, others still consider test scores as a component of the application process. Even at test-optional institutions, admissions committees may require the GMAT for applicants with lower GPAs or limited quantitative coursework. Ultimately, strong test scores can strengthen an application, but many programs now evaluate candidates holistically based on work experience, academic background, and leadership potential.
