Hi All:

It looks like GRE scores are more widely accepted now than they have ever been and some schools have even started detailing their average GRE scores.

With that being said, if you score an equivalent on the GRE vs GMAT (based on the ETS score comparison tool) which of the two should you send? I heard from some places it depends on how good your GMAT score is since that is taken into account in the schools rankings where the GRE score is still used to a lesser extent.

Thanks!

Yes GRE scores are now widely accepted. But programs will differ in their preferences. Many will state these explicitly. And some, a minority perhaps, will forbid the GRE.

If you are in doubt, you should check with the programs.

I believe b-schools are becoming encouraging of GRE scores but they still prefer GMAT scores. There is still little info made public about GRE scores. Read this compilation: GMAT and GRE scores at Top MBA Programs

You will see some top programs haven't yet revealed their average GRE scores.

It would appear that GRE scores are more generally acknowledged now than they have ever been and a few schools have even begun enumerating their normal GRE scores.

So, on the off chance that you score a proportionate on the GRE versus GMAT (in light of the ETS score examination device) which of the two would it be advisable for you to send? I got notification from certain spots it relies upon how great your GMAT score is since that is considered in the schools rankings where the GRE score is as yet used to a lesser degree.

For anyone reading this thread I just wanted to mention that as of late June of this year INSEAD changed their policy and they now accept the GRE even if the GMAT is available in your country. I now do not know of any programs that do not accept the GRE. Some might prefer the GMAT because there's more longitudinal research as a predictor of student success, but do what's in your best interest.

Yes, GRE is widely accepted by most B-schools but not All. Make it a point to check if the schools you want to apply to accept GRE scores for MBA before you choose which test to take.

Overall, even though B-schools certainly have a preference for the GMAT, you can get in via the GRE as long as the schools you are interested in also accept the GRE.

If you’re looking to switch from GRE to GMAT, you need to consider how good your GRE scores are in the first place.

Switching over to the GMAT is a great idea if you want to apply to B-schools because they tend to have a preference for GMAT scores. GRE scores are converted to their GMAT equivalents through the ETS score comparison tool when your application is being processed. This is because B-schools consider reasoning skills to be a critical trait, and that’s exactly what the GMAT measures.

Just keep in mind that a score of 326 on the GRE will convert to a GMAT 700. So, if you have a 326+ score on the GRE, you can go ahead and apply. But if you have a low GRE score, we recommend that you take a GMAT practice test to see how well you fare. If you do well, you can simply switch over to taking the actual GMAT test.

The GRE tests the strength and depth of your knowledge more than your reasoning whereas the GMAT tests your reasoning abilities based on your knowledge.

While the two tests are alike, they do share many differences, making studying for them a different process altogether.

I would recommend you to go through this detailed article to know the difference between the GMAT Vs GRE

Which top schools do not accept the GRE? The only one I knew of was INSEAD and that's now changed.
