Best MSF/MS in RE Programs Without GMAT Requirement?

I'm looking for top tier MSF or MS in RE programs that don't require a GMAT. I have a 3.6 undergrad GPA and solid internship experience, but my raw scores on the GMAT are weak. I'm at the stage of my life where I never want to study for another standardized test again, so I'm taking the easy way out. Off the top of my head I have:

NYU MS in RE
Georgetown MS in RE
USC MSF (I know they didn't when they restarted the program, not sure how it currently is)

PS: Also looking for schools that don't require FT work experience.

 

government job is a maybe. at least slack off after you get the job! i think you havent been taught about how useful tests are - gets you to the right places at right prices. and getting a good job is not always 100 hours. that's IB

pension fund jobs... like CALPERs? Sorry, I know a friend who got the job after a year at Berkeley MFE. Not your type.

 

I don't mean to be sarcastic, but you may need to think about your profile from the lens of employers for a while. You'll be surprised that pedigree and your "fit" still matters a whole lot even if you're just looking at some "smaller" jobs that are not the BB jobs that people crave for.

also I warn you about the optimism of doing MSRE instead of MBA as the way around. It may have been a differentiation move as MSRE is specialized, but should you think it's cutting corners, you're probably wrong.
