Hi There
I took the GRE two years back and scored a 307 on 340 (150 -Verbal and 157 - Quant)- My profile is pretty decent (kind of compensated for the score) ..I applied to universities for their MS in Engineering Management Program and got through USC,UIUC, University of Arizona , Northeastern (Boston) and TU Delft (Netherlands). But I couldn't take it up because of financial constraints.
I just started preparing for GMAT (in July) I'm still struggling to achieve a decent score..I gave GMATPrep and scored about a 500.. Since I have to take the exam by end of september so as to be able for Fall 2017 , I'm really confused between GMAT and GRE. I need to juggle between work and studies..My concern is whether I'd be able to make it to a 700 or more on the GMAT..So I'm contemplating on taking the GRE , although I've been out of touch ; taking the score from 307 to 320+ is a little comforting ( when compared to GMAT).
Can you please suggest..I'm demotivated and depressed..How can I improve..! I'd be grateful if you could help.

Do you plan to go into consulting or finance? If so, GMAT is needed for recruitment.

Hi kamkaul,
Since it's been 2 years since you took the GRE, it's likely that some of those skills have 'faded' over time. Thus, it would help if we had a more recent GRE performance to use as a basis for comparison - so you should plan to take a FULL GRE MST sometime soon (you can download two for free from www.gre.org). One of the challenges that you're going to face with your timeline is that even if you took an Official Exam at the end of September (whether it's the GRE or the GMAT), you wouldn't have any more than 7 weeks of potential study time, which might not be enough for you to hit your score goal.
1) Are you planning to re-apply to the each of the Schools that you listed? Have you contacted each School to determine how much of the re-application process is even necessary (if they accepted you once before, then they might just need an updated profile to confirm that you're still a strong applicant - and grant you admission)?
2) Are you planning to apply for a Scholarship? What is the GRE/GMAT score 'requirement' for those scholarships?
