Many universities are now waiving off GMAT if the student has passed even CFA Level 1. Practically, GMAT is no way even near to CFA in terms of difficulty and the skill set you acquire afterwards. UCAL is considering the waive off and Illinois Inst. Stuart Business school offers the waiver. I’ve also taken GMAT and scored 700. CFA level 1 was weighed more on my profile than GMAT. The criteria you mentioned might apply for MBA programs.

Master degree. I only have 1 year experience, so MBA seems unnecessary

How is the US on your list if you dont want to study for the GMAT? if you are expecting to go to a high rated business school in the US , you need the GMAT and a good score!

Canada has one as well. The Rotman school of business in Toronto
