Test-Optional MBA Programs: Should You Still Take the GMAT?

A lot of applicants treat “test-optional” like it gives them an easy answer.

It doesn’t.

Sometimes skipping the GMAT is the right move.
If the program truly treats it as optional and the rest of your profile already shows strong academic readiness, then not taking it may be completely reasonable.

But a strong GMAT score can still help.

It can strengthen your profile, reinforce your academic credibility, and improve your odds in a competitive pool.

So the real question is not: “Do I have to take the GMAT?”
The real question is: “Would taking it meaningfully improve my application?”

That’s the strategic question.
