INSEAD GRE

Question

I have been puzzled about ONLINE GMAT.

I didn't have any quant to show for my undergrad and grad and I know this becomes critical for my background.

I was wondering if I can sit for GRE instead? I am told it's relatively less puzzling in comparison to GMAT.

But I have also heard that GRE scores are not popular midst admission directors/committee at INSEAD and it could set me up for failure.

What do you think?

INSEAD does not consider GRE. Do refer other threads as well. This might be helpful. https://poetsandquants.com/2019/09/10/g ... 2=gre-gmat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFuBadR44_s https://gmatclub.com/forum/gre-152/ https://greprepclub.com/forum/gre-at-ho ... 17654.html

Hey that is completely untrue! https://www.insead.edu/master-programmes/mba/admissions INSEAD does accept GRE, they said that in their website: "GRE: we also accept the GRE test for which we do not have a minimum score but advise candidates to aim for a score above 80% for the quantitative and verbal sections of the GRE is highly recommended. COVID-19 Update: You can now initially apply for INSEAD Master Programmes without a GMAT, GRE, EA or TOEFL test score, however, you will still need to submit the scores as soon as they become available as they remain important elements for the final admissions decision" Regards, Pablo

Thanks for pointing out incompleteness. However, i assumed that poster was asking for MBA and read somewhere in GC-INSEAD thread consultants mentioned non-acceptability of GRE score. See here. https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-vs-gre- ... 99505.html It suggests GRE considerations under certain conditions.

INSEAD used to accept only GMAT scores. However, they saw a sharp decline in the number of applications over a few years, and that made them bring back GRE. In Conclusion, they accept both GRE & GMAT.

What do you find puzzling about GMAT? Have you taken a practice test for either GMAT or GRE? Because it seems that you have not tried either yet.

The standardized tests (GMAT/GRE) only reflects one part of the whole evaluation by adcom, so if the other parts of your profile are exceptional, it's not definite that the adcom will reject you (provided you didn't bomb the GMAT/GRE really bad).

pabpinor , How is the post-MBA career prospect of INSEAD students? Do they offer a stem MBA? How much does its GMAT score requirement? Is it only well-recognized in Europe or America as well?

pabpinor · Answer

Hey I'm not sure I can answer your first and third questions you will better find answers on their website.
They do offer stem related subjects and it is well recognized worldwide, not just in Europe and America but in Asia too, it has a really strong alumni network across the world.

Insead does accept GRE and actually never publishes its GRE score ranges.

If you are weak in quant, take GRE instead. Prepare as soon as possible

Insead due to covid19: "GRE: we also accept the GRE test for which we do not have a minimum score but advise candidates to aim for a score above 80% for the quantitative and verbal sections of the GRE is highly recommended.
