Hey,

GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council) is the owner of GMAT exam and  directs the GMAT fee waiver.  You need to fill the GMAT fee waiver form. The applicant might request and get the approval for upto 10 waivers within a period of 12 months . These vouchers waive the GMAT exam fee for the applicant. However, GMAC does not provide fee waivers directly to students , the school act as an mediator to district fee waivers and hence you need to work directly with the school. GMAC provides the fee waivers code to the applicant via a secured email. These fee waivers are usually offered to economically disadvantaged students, but however, it's upto each individual school to decide who gets a fee waiver.

The schools offer fee waivers firstly , to their currently enrolled students or alumni. Secondly , they offer to the applicants to their various business programmes. If you have any further related query, do visit the pathfinder below;

I don't want to discourage you, but it seems like you are thinking of getting into business school to get over your studies once and for all, and let me tell you this is not a good idea. Average work experience of 3 to 5 years is the requirement of the top international programmes.

Nevertheless, you can get yourself enrolled into a Master of Science in Management programme, many top schools such as HEC Paris & University of St. Gallan ( as Master of Arts in Strategic and International Management ) offer these degrees for students with business undergraduate background, which are similar to MBA but do not really require any Job Experience.

As these programmes are pre-experience, more stronger in conceptual study than (1 year) MBA offered by same school.


I hope I've resolved your query, in case of any further doubt, feel free to revert back.

All the very best, have a bright future ahead!!

Thank you so much for your suggestion,I am really in a dilemma about finishing my studies first.But what if I appear for the exam first and then gain job experience?Will I get less preference for applying after 3 years of appearing in the exam in contrast with the students who apply to schools on the same year the appear for the exam? My other question is that  how will the schools select an outsider to be eligible for a fee waiver.Which schools provide those fee waivers?To be specific,where should a student,who doesn't have an excellent academic background,approach for a fee waiver?
