Hey All,
I am planning to apply for MBA programs this fall and wanted some advice on whether there is much value in giving the GMAT exam again vs submitting my GRE Scores.
Context: I have a Masters in Engineering from Cornell (Class of 2019) and as a pre-requisite for this exam, I gave the GRE and did very well. I got a 338/340 with 169Q and 169V. Fast forward 2 years and my scores are valid for my MBA applications this fall.
Since I had some spare time and have traditionally done well on standardized tests, I worked towards giving the GMAT exam as well to further boost my application for MBA programs this fall. However, I got a 700 (45Q, 42V) in my first attempt (late April) after about 3 months of preparation and just got a 710 today on my 2nd attempt (48Q, 40V).
I am obviously quite tired/dejected at this point and given how strong my GRE score is, think it would be sufficient to submit the GRE? On the other hand, having scored an average of 750-770 on my 6 OG practice exams I am also somewhat tempted to give the GMAT a 3rd time and see what happens.
Any thoughts on whether top MBA programs such as HBS/GSB would consider the 338 GRE strong enough OR do you guys feel the lack of GMAT would be a drawback/I should work harder and give it one last shot at the GMAT?
This forum has been very helpful throughout my GMAT preparation process so would love your advice/thoughts/comments!

Hi shaheb218,
Since you already have an exceptional GRE Score, you would likely be best served by submitting that Score as part of your applications. That having been said, since you are interested in some highly-competitive Schools, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

I think you can totally apply with the GRE.
You can see the average GRE Scores here on GRE Prep Club:
https://greprepclub.com/forum/average-g ... 22116.html - these are all fresh for the latest intake.
Your 338 knocks all the averages out of the park and is a very high score that schools won't have issues considering and taking seriously.
For reference, 17% of the Applicants to the Top 5 MBA programs have used a GRE score.
Stanford had 19% and HBS 22%

You can watch these 2 videos specifically about your GMAT vs. GRE question. Also, I recommend joining MBA Spotlight Virtual MBA Fair (looks like you are registered!) for the HBS/Stanford sessions and you are welcome to ask your questions there directly to the AdCom. I don't think you need to take the GMAT really unless your GRE is expiring this year.
