You bet, happy to help! That's not surprising. GMAT has been the more common test among b-schools, and definitely at HBS, where only 12% of the class applied with a GRE score. So with two different pools of applicants, you would expect the medians to be different. Plus, as of right now, GRE scores are not factored into most rankings, so some schools may be more willing to accept a lower GRE score (assuming you are still an awesome candidate of course!).

Keep me posted if we can help with anything else!

Thanks for the thorough reply, Kate. Super helpful! On the topic of retaking the GRE, I noticed that HBS' median GRE's are V164 and Q164 (converts to GMAT 710). This would put my score at just above the median. It seems like there's a discrepancy between the median scores for GRE (converts to 710) and GMAT (around 730). Thoughts on this?
