I am trying to apply for the R2 in Jan. 21. Should I take the GMAT as I already have a GRE score from 2017? Would my GRE score enough to get into schools like Johnson, Tuck, Darden or Stern? My main goal is to land IB in NYC post MBA. Also I have already got into Kelley with scholarship to start in 2021.
As a part of application process for MS in mechanical engineering, I have already got a GRE score of 313 (Q166, V147). I have BS and MS in mechanical engineering with 3.3 and 3.65 GPA. I am a non-native English speaker. However, I have finished my BS and MS from public universities in the US. I have 48 months of WE and was part engineering rotational program. Also as an undergrad, I worked in the cancer research laboratory for 3 years. Currently, I work as a program manager for a product made overseas so high experience working with teams from China, Germany and Mexico.
Hey FisherBuild,
While Quant is great, The GRE Verbal score is a bit on the low side so I'd like to see you retake. Also, if you're going to be recruiting for IB, having a GRE will put you at a slight disadvantage, since banks will ask your GMAT score and most of your classmates will be recruiting with the GMAT.
Are you able to retake the test? If you're applying in Jan, it would only take 2-3 months of study to get it done (depending on how busy you are at work). Sadly, it's going to be tough to land an IB job from Kelley unless you have prior connections on the Street or aim your focus on Chicago only.
Regards,
