GMAT v/s GRE question

by SamridhG193 Thu Sep 03, 2015 2:23 pm

Hi Instructors,

I was reading an article by Stacey Koprince on BEATtheGMAT.com on "Should I Take the GMAT or the GRE?".

Unfortunately I am stuck in a very strange situation - I have good scores from both tests and am unable to decide which one to use for MBA applications. I'm looking for guidance on this topic.

To give more context, below are my scores in each test
GRE - 339/340 in Sep 2011
GMAT - 770/800 in July 2014

I am really confused and would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks!
Samridh

This is a good problem to have. :)

Both are 99th percentile scores, so there's no real difference in terms of that. Some schools do have a preference for the GMAT over the GRE (and no b-schools have a preference for the GRE over the GMAT), so you might as well go for the GMAT!

You may also want to ask an admissions consultant - we have a folder here called Ask An Admissions Consultant. Try posting your question there, too.

Good luck!
