Sounds like me! I got a terrible score in the GMAT and soon after I took a GRE mock which turned out so well with no prior GRE specific prep

I’ll start the program in July so I don’t know any GSB folks in the entertainment industry yet. sorry.

Fair question Given I am from an overrepresented country, I did not make even the average score of the incoming class.

GRE vs GMAT, which one is better according to you and why?

I’m on the same boat. I only got 700 on my first GMAT attempt and decided to switch to GRE and got 328 on the first try. It’s not the best but it’s enough to get me into GSB

It depends on you - what test you are comfortable with. What works for you, works for GSB. I would suggest take mocks of both and assess how you perform and how you feel throughout. Awesome ! All the best with your application

I hope GSB (along with many other schools) do indeed consider the GRE to be as equal as the GMAT? Not just for acceptance but in terms of scholarships and stuff as well. That’s still a bit of a concern for me..

I got in already incoming MSx student

Oh man. Didn’t realise it was your message

in between you attempting the GMAT and GRE, how much did you study? asking in case I will benefit from taking the GRE instead :’) planning to take the GMAT in 1 week haha
