Hello All,
I'm an Indian applicant (male) with 7.5 years of experience in marketing analytics, first with a consulting firm (5 years) and currently with a Fortune 50 bank (2.5 years), both known B-school feeders. So far, my career progress has been good (top performer + awards, 3 promotions) and I have worked with clients in more than 10 countries. I graduated form one of the top 5 engineering schools in India, and have fair bit of extra-curricular both during college & after graduation (volunteering, independent consulting, sports coach, etc).
Post MBA I want to pivot to core marketing role (from marketing analytics till now). Unfortunately, I missed the R1 deadlines (damn COVID!) - for the upcoming Jan deadlines, I'm targeting the following schools - Kellogg, Tuck, Duke, Cornell, McCombs. Wanted to apply to UCLA too, but they seem to have a mandatory TOEFL requirement - I missed this, and probably too late now.
I gave the online GMAT recently, and ended up screwing both the sections to score a 700 (from 760, 720, 750, 740 - GMAT Prep 1,2,3,4 :/ ). Now that the deadlines are close, just wanted to have an opinion what score should I use? The ETS converter puts both the scores in same range, but in general, the GRE averages seem to be on the lower side for all the schools.
Personally, I am inclining towards GRE (post MBA goal isn't consulting/finance) - please let me know what you guys think
Also, do people actually make to it their reach schools with average test scores and from highly over-represented demography like mine? I can can see straight dings from Kellogg, Tuck and probably Duke too, but I'll just try anyway - not applying to 2 year programs next year

Also, check for the percentile for Quant and Verbal scores. I guess the GRE percentile would be slightly better.

Yes, 85%ile for but Q & V in GRE vs 70s in GMAT.
If you apply to 1-year program next year after a ding in 2Y program previously, is it considered reapplication? I want to take a call whether I should even apply to Kellogg this year - profile is certainly not competitive at the moment. Want to go for 1 year programs next year if things don't work out in R2.

Looking at the median (not averages) for the Top 10, it looks like your GRE is a lot closer to the median score for GRE than the GMAT.
While you are at the top of the list, at least you are not below average!
