The Nova School of Business and Economics MiM does weigh a test score (admitted students fall in the 620–710 (recommended, not mandatory) range) — but if a test-free route matters, 70 of 110 MiMs we track (about 64%) admit without a required GMAT or GRE. See every European MiM you can apply to without a GMAT on our MiM without the GMAT shortlist, or read how GMAT waivers work.

Most European MiM programs, including this one, accept the GRE and often the GMAT Focus Edition or a school-specific test as alternatives, and weigh the whole application — academics, internships, essays, and interview — rather than the score alone.
