Applying without GRE scores

[pullthecalv]

I am interested in applying to MFE programs once applications for '24-'25 open in September. I noticed that for schools like U Chicago and Berkeley, GRE/GMAT scores are not required, and I know that a lot of other good programs do not require scores to be reported. I am curious if leaving these scores off will hurt my chances of acceptance into a top MFE program (U Chicago, NYU, Columbia)?

For reference, I am expecting to graduate next Spring with a Finance and Accounting dual degree and a Mathematics minor from a non-target state school. I will have taken courses in linear algebra, multivariable calculus, PDEs, numerical analysis, probability, and statistics. I am expecting to graduate with a 3.7+ GPA and had one M&A Investment Banking internship.

Thanks

When programs do not require GRE, not having it will not be a hinderance if other aspects of your profile are strong. It is not a significant factor like it used to be.
In short, skipping it wont hurt, having a good GRE may help marginally.
