juul123 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hi, i'm currently in the last semester of my bachelor in Management, Philosophy and Economics in Germany. I'm interested in doing an MPA/MPP in the US starting 2019, but have no time for doing the GMAT/GRE due to my bachelor thesis this year. Are there any good programs available I can take a look at that don't require those? I worked at an investment fund for 2,5 years before I started my studies and completed internships at Deloitte, the German Foreign Service(stationed in Bangkok) and the United Nations (HQ in NYC). I also have a scholarship from the German government and do a lot of extracurricular stuff. Tips are much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolatte_ Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Many programs have waivers. I'm eligible for waivers for every program I'm applying to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juul123 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Waiver in the sense you don't have to take the gmat/gre? How to I know if that is the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to I know if that is the case? I second this. How do you know if admissions will give you a waiver? Do you get one after talking with the recruiter about your experience or going on a campus visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptHolt Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Pitt just released an email about a month ago indicating they too are making the GRE voluntary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
