We are happy to consider applicants without a first degree who have an excellent career record. Candidates with no first degree but with substantial managerial experience are advised that GMAT 600+ may be required.
We consider each case holistically and on an individual basis. We look for evidence of communication skills; interpersonal skills; leadership skills; team-building skills; integrity and ethics; initiative; cross-cultural sensitivity; motivation and commitment.

You need to have a balanced score on all parts of the GMAT. You should aim for a score of 600+. Although we do not specify a minimum, we are highly unlikely to admit a candidate with a score below 500.
