There are many EMBA programs that do not require GMAT.
There's an interesting article about the importance of the GMAT on businessweek (businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_32/b3946109_mz056.htm):

"How many executive MBA programs in BusinessWeek's top 25 require the GMAT? The answer: 12. That's right, you can get into EMBA programs at 13 top-ranked B-schools without taking the GMAT.
...
Since schools often claim their EMBA and MBA degrees are identical, GMAT supporters want admissions standards to be, too. By waiving the GMAT for EMBA applicants, they say, schools may need to dumb down the curriculum for those lacking math skills, ultimately muting the degree's prestige. Says Wharton EMBA Director Howard Kaufold: "The bottom line is that at the schools not requiring the GMAT, there has to be an impact on the technical content of their MBA."

I think that's a valid point, which should be taken into account by those who put a lot of effort into avoiding the GMAT instead of trying hard to get a good result..
