Hi good people, am an international student who is interested in studying in the United States or Canada for my MBA degree. I currently have a bachelors in my home country, also possess a Masters degree in International Business in University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom. Am an Association of Certified Chartered Accountant (ACCA) affiliate with one year remaining to become a full member as this is when i would complete the necessary 36 months pre-requisite to become a member.

Due to my current work constraints i do not have much time to study for the gmat and i was thinking if it is realistic to get a top school in USA or Canada that would waive this based on my other qualifications?

Your help will really be appreciated??

Given your background you would do okay in the GMAT even with no preparation: at least 600, I would expect. See Why you should take the GMAT http://bit.ly/WhyGMAT

Wow that's a lot of believe in me. thanks for the info. i get your point saying top schools will not waive it. Guess i need to buckle down and do what's necessary

Top schools really have no reason to waive the GMAT - there are plenty of other candidates willing to take the test.
