The Stockholm School of Economics MiM does weigh a test score (admitted students fall in the 595–735 (GMAT Focus median 625) 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the application process for non-Swedish candidates?
The application requires undergraduate transcripts, a CV, a motivation letter, two academic references, and a GMAT, GMAT Focus, or GRE score. Admitted students cluster in the 595–735 GMAT range, with a GMAT Focus median of 625. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a half-day assessment centre — typically around mid-February — built around a case analysis and a presentation rather than a one-to-one interview. International applicants apply via the Swedish national universityadmissions.se platform alongside the SSE-specific supplementary application.
