There’s a score range too na..plus all aspects have their individual weightage

In one of the adcom chats, I kind of concluded that they compare GMAT scores of two candidates with similar profiles with work experience, diversity etc.
Does my conclusion hold true?

Also what do you think of a GMAT score of 700, in general?
TIA.

I never gave GMAT. When I gave my fist attempt, I knew where I was lacking and that I could improve my score. But a friend of mine switched from GMAT to GRE and scored a 324 in first attempt. And I have read other posts on Reddit and Quora about people switching tests and ding better at it. However, it’s at your discretion. Do what suits you. Try giving a mock for GRE to check which test you feel you could do better at. There is no preference of one exam over the other in any business school you are applying to. And I mean it when I say this. My friend works with the DEI team in one of the M7’s in the US. He has confirmed it.

thanks a lot, it helps

Just give GRE. I found it easier than GMAT. GMAT is a non-linear test...you could do well in the first attempt and screw up the next attempt despite months of study due to the screwed up algo of the test

The sad reality is that post covid 700-710 is the new 680-690.
