Hello friends,
My background is Asian Male from quantitative background.
My GMAT is: 730 (96%): V40 (90%) Q49 (74%) AWA 5 (56%) IR 8 (91%)
My GRE is: 330 (?%): V161 (88%) Q169 (94%) AW 4.0 (55%)
They may look quite similar, but considering the top school's average, my GRE is actually better than my GMAT. My question is: would submit my GMAT hurt, increase or does nothing to my chance? I would like to add that I have 3.4 GPA, which is relatively lower. So will 2 scores combined better convey my academic aptitude?
I remember I have heard that AdCom know the difference of 2 tests, and doing good on both actually boost the chance?
Thanks in advance!

You have two great scores - congrats!
I would submit both if I were you. The school will likely count the one that works in your favor as it also helps boost their numbers. You don't get an added bonus by having two solid results. Otherwise, everyone would take both and a rat race would ensue.
You also don't have to designate which exam you want to 'count.' The schools will naturally pick the one that is considered relatively better.
Good luck with the rest of the process!

Hi WeWillGetIn,
Congrats on 2 strong scores! Personal MBA Coach suggests submitting your GRE score since, as you mentioned it is actually a bit stronger than your GMAT.
Schools do not have a preference between the two tests, and the GRE has become more common over the past few years.
Now that you have testing under your belt, it is time to perfect the other components of your applications. If you are looking for customized support, do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] to discuss how we can help set you up for success!
Best,
Personal MBA Coach
