Cambridge MPhil in Finance - no GMAT or essay required

Hi,

I am considering applying to Cambridge's MPhil in Finance, but on the course website it seems like they neither require an essay nor the GMAT.

I have already taken the GMAT and achieved a good score, so I think it would play into my advantage if the test was required. Does anyone know if you can still submit or list a GMAT score on your resume?

As for the course website indicating that no essay should be submitted, can that really be true? I would think any course at Cambridge requires some form of essay or personal statement.

Would be really great if a current/former student of the course or someone familiar with the application process could give me some insight
