Admission to the Master of Finance program is usually based on academic preparation and achievement (undergraduate coursework and GPA), GMAT/GRE or SAT scores, and genuine interest in finance (determined by essay responses, letters of recommendation and interview).
GMAT/GRE Submission and Waiver Guidelines
The GMAT/GRE is waived IF you are a CWRU undergraduate with a major in engineering, math, physics, statistics, business, management, economics or accounting, with a 3.0 GPA or better.
The GMAT/GRE is
strongly preferred IF you are a CWRU undergraduate and your major is NOT in engineering, math, physics, statistics, business, management, economics or accounting, or your GPA is below 3.0.
If your major is NOT in engineering, math, physics, statistics, business, management, economics, or accounting, regardless of your undergraduate GPA, or if your undergraduate GPA is less than 3.0, it is strongly recommended that you take the GMAT or GRE and submit scores as part of your application.
