Requesting an Exam Score Waiver

To request an exam score waiver, select 'No' in the Test Score section of your application when asked if your test scores are available. You will then be asked whether you intend to take an exam or apply for a waiver. To be considered for a waiver, you will need to:

1. Complete the MSIS application, including:

• Uploading your current resume;
• Uploading a short document stating the basis of your waiver request. The waiver request should include the criteria from the list above that applies to you and provide a brief description of your experience/background that you believe would qualify you for a waiver, including any quantitative and analytical experience. 

Upon completion of the above steps, you will be notified by the admissions team whether or not a waiver request has been accepted. Further documentation may be requested to aid in the decision-making process.
