Is it possible to gain access to a Masters Program without taking the MAT test? Are there ever exceptions that can be applied for?

Asked by Dog (25152points) January 30th, 2012

I am working on getting into a fantastic Masters program and was told that I could put in my application late but that I had to have my MAT test results in order to have my application be considered complete.

This is no ordinary application. It requires a 10–20 page autobiography on my life focused on personal not education/career as well as my entire art portfolio and a summary portfolio catalog.

I graduated summa cum laude.

Is there any way I can petition to get out of taking the MAT test completely? Perhaps on my merit? I tried the practice tests on line and with the short time frame I have there is no way I can study enough to pass that insane thing.

Advice?
