School's statement on scores

Johnson on test scores

"There is no minimum GMAT or GRE score requirement for Johnson's residential MBA program. However, the middle 80% of our applicants submit GMAT scores between 660 and 740. GRE equivalencies are comparable."

Test waiver

Johnson considers test waiver requests from applicants who meet one or more of these criteria: a STEM, business, or analytical/quantitative-focused undergraduate or graduate degree with a 3.0 GPA, second class upper division honors, or international equivalent; a CPA or CFA certification or international equivalent; or post-undergraduate, full-time work experience in an analytical or quantitative function. Meeting a criterion does not guarantee a waiver. The request includes a 100-word statement, must be made in the application (not after submission), and is decided within 5-7 business days. An approved waiver is valid only for the current cycle and the program applied to. A test score is required for Sage Scholarship consideration.
