how much i know all the uni's in USA & Canada require gmat..
some of them may stress on gmat but most wont if your gpa is good,but gmat would be must... i would suggest go ahead and apply to uni's which you have short listed...seeing your profile as a whole you may be hired,,gmat is not every thing..

if you not keen for north america, i would suggest go ahead with UK..lots of real good uni's dont require gmat in UK..considering ur work exp and profile..you will get in many good uni's in UK.

infact if u want i can explain you why as a indian you should go to uk only and not other countries for mba.

this is for any indian planning mba overseas

my first choice for mba was one of the top schools from canada...
but as i stand today.. i understand if i study in canada or usa,,

i am not going to spend any thing less than 60000$ for only fee's if i study in any decent school in north america.

scholarship is not guaranteed so chances are 1% out of 100 , as you compete with entire class and business school as a whole.so i am not thinking of it.

MBA is 2 years in north america, so my living expense entirely i assume is going to be nothing less than 40000$ for two years.

next thing you do is think about part time jobs, for a fact mba is so intense , it will kill most of your time in assignments..so you will not be able to do work on part time job's every semester.

next question is what is my ROI(return of investment) , i am spending nothing less than $100000, what will be ROI..you are the best person to judge your self..

do you know what does today's market say "West is coming to East" hope you know east is asia...in simple term scarcity of good job opportunities.

Now let me tell you as a indian why i choose UK MBA.

1. No visa problem, i will get visa in max 10 working days, this is not case with USA, i am sure many will agree..

2. Fee's.UK has few top schools, whose total fee is nothing more than 15000 pounds

3. Mba is only for one year in uk..a big + for working executives.

4. Living expense would be max 800pounds for a month..and one only mba..so high expenses only for a year...

5.so if i consider total amount i have spend on my fee + living , travel extra,, i am spending nothing more than 25lakhs + no part jobs.. when i compare same with North america i am spending nothing less than 50 lakhs, as dollar is 50 right now :)

6.Now UK and Europe , if you compare it will be the same.. i would choose uk from europe bcoz when i come back to india studied and worked in UK would sound better than rest of europe

+ Uk is english spoken country..so no language prob, if i compare to spain or france..

+uk gives me full time work permit after MBA , rest of europe comes in EU(european union) if you want to work post ur mba, your employee has to prove that you can work better than someone from there country, makes it hard for work permit..

i thought of australia too,, with current scenario, i dont need to say anything i guess....

hope this helps...

Actually Harvard and MIT Sloan do not require a GMAT. You can use a recent GRE (score that is 5 years old). Many B schools will also allow the LSAT if you are enrolled in law school. The similarities between the GRE and GMAT are many. About time schools recognize them. And besides, the math you do in business is backed up with excel or an expensive calculator. Both tools are not used during the GRE or GMAT. So the real world application of the GRE or GMAT is questionable.
