What score should I report for admissions (GRE vs GMAT) 22 Dec 2023, 07:57

Long time lurker here since beggining of this year. To get to the point, I am preparing my applications for Round 2. I am European, working as a Consultant for T2 strat house, with 5 years of experience and I have confirmed sponsorship for the MBA.

I've had a difficult journey with the GMAT with the following official scores:
-Exam #1: 620 (Q35, V41)
-Exam #2: 640 (Q42, V37)
-Exam #3(Online): 620 (Q44, V31)

I just haven't been able to score consistently, with a suprising flunk in verbal for the online exam, which was when I felt most prepared.

I decided last week to try the GRE as a last ditch, during the one practice exam I did, I saw that I had a very good score in quant and bad verbal given the vocabulary is quite difficult (so I decided to cram vocab for this week while managing work on the side).

Nontheless, I took the exam this morning, enjoying the shorter format and scored:
-Exam #1: 322(Q161,V161)

I understand this score rougly translates into a GMAT 660, but is suprisingly close to average and median scores for the programs I am looking at (I know the caveats the averages have for the GRE given the lower incidence). If you were me, what score would you submit, given I could report more than one GMAT score, showing that I am capable of scoring higher in individual segments, but just haven't been able to (I understand that is part of the difficulty).

Look at the school's class profile and submit the highest possible score reported in the school's range.

You can submit all of them and the schools will actually "take" whatever is highest for you, because it also reflects best for them too. It's also clear your averages are about the same, so we're talking about marginal matters.

You can definitely retake the GMAT one more time. You don't have much to lose, but do you have time before deadlines? Don't expect a drastically better result, but still give it all you have.

Hello manuelmartinez96,

As R2 deadlines are less than 2 weeks away, we understand your concern about placing the best foot ahead.

However, in your case, the GMAT/GRE is just 1 aspect of your profile. Universities are skimming through the pool of applications and are offering admits to holistic profiles. Thus, we recommend you block a Free profile consultation slot with our team of MBA experts as that would help us not only understand your profile and goals but also navigate the roadmap ahead for you to make guided decisions.

You can also connect with us via call at +91 9820491179
