Hi All,

Targetting a few top 10 programs -- I've been waitlisted from 2 of them with a GMAT of 710.

As I apply to Columbia and MIT, I'd love an opinion on which set of scores to submit:

GMAT:
710: Q47 (63th percentile) / V41 (94th percentile)

First attempt was 700; I also have a recent cancel on the report (tried to take it again to raise the 710 but couldnt)

GRE - 3 years old
328: Q161 (78th percentile) / V167 (98th percentile)
First attempt was 159 (Q) and 168 (V)

Which one should I submit? Or both?

Thank you!

Hi there,

I would suggest going with the GRE, primarily since the quant percentile is higher - hope that helps!

Best,

GRE!
I would go with the GRE!
Especially because your GRE-GMAT translation is 720!

Go with it mate.

Apologies.I entered the Quant score where I should have entered the verbal score and .....
I would still go with the GRE score.
Especially for that Quant percentile.

Q47 might be a red flag for the schools(like MIT)

P.S -> My GRE-GMAT tribulation is also 700 (Q169 V 154)

You for sure want to go with the score that positions your quant score the beat which is the GRE. Every point counts when you’re applying to elite quant focused schools like MIT/CBS. Good Luck!
