Thank you so much for posting and sharing! Is that a good score? I am no good with GRE :lol:

But regardless of the score this is super awesome!!! Thank you for the debrief.

PS. I assume you saw LBS and a few others have completely gone away from requiring any test score (not even after admission).

Hey bb,

Heres a link for all the average GRE score at top universities. https://poetsandquants.com/2020/03/23/a ... rograms/4/

As you will see the GRE score averages tend to be on the lower side. Its not as easy to score high on GRE as people think.


That article is completely bogus. I do not know where they took the data but they are NOT true.

Instead, I went on EVERY single BS page to check the GRE score and they totally show us a reality wholly different that article shows.

This is the ONLY guide you should trust https://greprepclub.com/forum/the-gre-a ... tml#p42871

Only one datum: they give you the AWA scores. FALSE

The only University in the entire world reveals the AWA score is Wharton. NO one other BS communicates the AWA score they indicate

Lorettagrace my apologies if my tone was too brazen. I expressed my subjective position regarding quant in the GRE and GMAT. Clearly, both exams are tough and I dot not believe that the GRE is an easier exam content wise ; otherwise, many test takers would have been scoring in 90% percentile :) Not sure how you inferred that I thought that quant in the real GRE is easier than that in the GMAT. In fact, I was trying to convey the message that based on my own experience, quant is equally challenging on either exam.

Also, it is great to see that gmatclub attracts experienced tutors and domain experts, the community surely benefits from experts' contributions.

Wish you all the best, too!

bb, I compare it based on how difficult the questions are, how widespread the content covered is, and how much time per question people have. This is all through my students' eyes. Also, I have a friend who taught GMAT successfully for many years and had 750+ scores on the test, who couldn't break through the 90th percentile in quant in GRE on his first two attempts. If GRE was such a cake walk, you'd think he'd scoot right through it -- right? Put differently, I judge difficulty based on how difficult it is! I don't know how else to phrase that.

mykrasovski thanks for clarifying. I guess it's fair to say that the tests are similar in difficulty level. My main point though is that the GRE isn't easier than GMAT, and many people might actually find it more difficult, if only due to the insane vocabulary it requires. I love how when they revamped the GRE a few years ago they had the chutzpah to say that they were downplaying the importance of vocabulary!


I totally agree with you bu the vocabulary. For me is more important the meaning of the sentence.

If you have it then you do have a higher probability to pick correct even though you do not have a huge database.

it is not true the other way around.

regards

Lorettagrace yeah, the Vocabulary part is definitely challenging. However, I am grateful to both exams because I definitely improved my grammar knowledge (kudos to the GMAT) and already learned several hundred of new words (kudos to the GRE). I decided a few months ago that I might attempt the GRE, so I started learning every single new words that I encounter in literature such as The New York Times, The Economist, and so on. :-)

Hi mykrasovski, carcass, bb, Lorettagrace
I have a 2 year old GRE score of 325(Q-165:88 percentile, V-160:86 percentile). I have been preparing for the GMAT since March. I've felt that the GRE is an easier test than the GMAT because I believe that it is more test taker friendly. In the GRE you may skip a question/ Review it for later and get back to it at the end. I feel this makes you feel more comfortable when testing compared to the GMAT.

How do you see GRE scores being evaluated for the admissions cycle of 2021?(Considering the issues with online GMAT and potentially many test takers struggling to find dates at test centres due to the inevitable rush post the pandemic). I have always felt that students applying with the GMAT are preferred over the ones applying with the GRE ( I feel that my ding from the Indian School Of Business is partly attributed to this )

Hi elPatron434, the only comment I can make is that you have an outstanding GRE score, which statistically is above the average scores in many great business programs around the World. So, I would advise to focus on other aspects of your application such as professional experience, outreach engagements, and leadership.

Good luck!

Thank you mykrasovski,
I was under a similar impression too. But I then came across the GRE to GMAT converter on the ETS website which translates my score to 690 on the GMAT which I feel isn't on the same pedestal as my GRE score. I am confused as to what scores would the B Schools be taking into account (325 vs 690) while evaluating an individual's candidature, considering most of the B Schools don't publish statistics on the GRE.

bb, carcass would love your thoughts on this.

Thank You!

These are our conclusion backed up from a granular observation of the data on the FIELD

As you can see from the pie above we do have a clear picture of the 60 (sixty) BSs that accept AND disclose the GRE score for a Full-Time MBA program. Notice the relevant considerations


  • The BS that NOT disclose the test but accept it are the majority
  • Basically, the average score for both the sections of the test is 160, which is also consistent with the following point
  • INSEAD and HEC Paris BS play safe going for the percentile - 85% and 65% respectively - of the test. In the section of this guide: What does the GRE score mean we will address very well on why the chose percentile over a numbered score
  • Notice also that 36 BS DO NOT Accept the GRE. See where the value is ZERO. However, this statistic should not be taken with concern from the students. In large part, the BSs that do not accept the score are at the periphery of the big MBA circle, which is basically in the three main areas of the globe: US, Canada, and Europe.
  • What is really astonishing is that among 60 BSs in fice continents ONLY on School - Wharton - give indication clearly of the AWA score. This could be an interesting argument on which making a reflection

refer to these for your conclusions.

In a nutshell, if YOU achieve a score of Quant 160/161 and Verbal 160, this split is more than enough even for Harvard.

here, once again , you can find ALL the BSs of the world

https://greprepclub.com/forum/the-gre-a ... tml#p42871

Hope this helps

Thank you carcass. The post is really helpful. I request one small clarification though. Does accepting the scores guarantee that the converter isn't used? (As pointed out in the post, your correspondence with NYU seems to suggest that they convert the scores). I ask this because a 325 on the GRE with a Q/V split of 165/160 translates to a 690 with a Q/V split of 47/36. Looking at it from a percentile standpoint the GRE score of 325 indicates a Q/V percentile of 88/86 while the translated score shows the percentile split to be 63/83.(source https://magoosh.com/gmat/score/gmat-score-calculator/).

The disparity in the levels indicated by the GRE and the converted scores ( which the bschool's might use to potentially standardize applicants' scores ) would disadvantage the GRE applicants. Would that be a correct assumption?

Thank You again for your time

Are you referring about the last post in this topic? With a bit.ly link? Otherwise, there a lot of guys …

And this is an 18 month old topic 😬

So who is lying? About what?
