I have a question- are home based GRE tests considered at par with center tests, while applying to Stern?

The only business school I know so far this coming application cycle that won't accept home-based GRE is Michigan Broad.

They are but it’s always better to take the test at a center. I had a candidate whose test score was cancelled simply because there was a significant jump in his score from the first to the second attempt, and he was testing at home. He didn’t violate any testing rules. He had to re-take the test at a center after that. This is just one of many different examples, so I would really recommend that you take the test at a center, if possible.

This event is hosted each year to give new applicants the opportunity to network with current MBA students from diverse backgrounds and entering various programs. Networking with schools, current students, and alumni is an important aspect of the application process

Hi.
Thank you for sharing your profile. You do have an excellent profile overall. Your 6.8 on seven CGPA and bachelors is of concern.
However, your MCOM in finance seems to make up for it. What has been your GMAT and or GRE score? That would help really understand your chances for NYU. Given your work profile, you have an excellent work profile with around five years experience in ed tech, which is a very popular current industry that students that applicants apply with.
Additionally, you’ve worked at organizations like Amazon, and I’ve also received awards. So it does seem like with just your car, the kind of information we have that you could be a highly competitive applicant to NYU. As for your four month gap, please ensure that while you are filling out applications in the additional comments, you do explain why you have a four month gap legitimately.
Do not patronize or over explain, but just state truths and facts to help the school understand your gap. And it shouldn’t be since it’s not too much of a gap, the school should not mind it if you have valid reasons. If you need a proper profile evaluation for NYU and other schools to feel free to reach out.
