Gmat after GRE

Question

Should I take the GMAT after getting a GRE score of 327 (V158, Q169)? If so, what are the benefits of giving the GMAT?

Hi. Congrats!

That’s a good score. I don’t think you need to worry about taking the GMAT since most schools take the GRE (do check though for your program). The main benefit of taking the GMAT would be an easy ability to compare historical information and averages. Many schools haven’t been releasing Jerry information as much but that score should be sufficient and good enough for most programs unless you come from the competitive male Indian IT demographics.

Based on https://www.ets.org/gre/institutions/ab ... rison_tool, your predicted GMAT score is 720 based on your GRE scores.

So, if you have not prepared specifically for GMAT, I do not see any compelling reason for you to consider taking GMAT test. If one does not prepare for GMAT, it is hard to score higher than 700.

That is a good GRE score. You're in the safe score range I guess. You can certainly try to take GMAT, it will definitely add value, but, GRE is also given weight these days. 
It is just that a handful of schools produce average GRE score and range. So, try to get an idea of GRE rangers in bigger B-schools and assume that the lower ones definitely have somewhat lower scores. That's one way, but your application as a whole should be very appealing depending on the target B-school

Hi Seth1998,

First off, a 327/Q169 is a fantastic Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you (assuming that they accept the GRE Score as part of the application). As such, taking the GMAT is probably not necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

Hi Seth1998,

327 with Q169 is a very nice score! As long as your desired schools do not prefer the GMAT to the GRE, I don’t think that you need to take the GMAT. If for any reason you decide to take the GMAT, feel free to reach back out. Good luck!
