GRE/GMAT Waivers: Applicants who received an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher, or those who will have their degree conferred from the University of Notre Dame, will have the requirement to take the GRE/GMAT waived. They are still welcome to take the exam but a lack of score will not have a negative impact on their admissibility.

- Statement of Purpose (100 words)
- One slide presentation (up to four slides)
- One essay (prompt and length requirements available inside the application)
