It depends on the university. Many top MBA programs in Singapore require a GMAT or GRE score, typically 600+ for the GMAT. In Ireland, several universities do not require these tests, but some top schools may ask for them or consider them optional.

- Singapore: Most leading universities (NUS, NTU, SMU, INSEAD) require or recommend a GMAT/GRE score.
- Ireland: Some schools (UCD Smurfit) require a GMAT/GRE, while others (Trinity, Dublin Business School, Griffith College, University of Limerick, Maynooth) do not or make it optional.

A strong test score can boost your application even if not mandatory. Work experience, academics, and interviews are also important for admission. If you need help choosing the right universities based on your profile, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
