For those who are applying to business school, with or without the anticipation of a joint-degree program, the question arises: should I take the GMAT or the GRE?
老实说，我认为答案也是，但这并不完全是黑白。首先，并非所有商学院都接受GRE。您会在下面看到，至少在这本书中表明，这些作品却没有。我还提供了指向学校网站的链接以进行进一步的解释。事情一直在改变。

If you are looking for more schools theETS link有完整的列表MBA接受GRE的程序。此外，为了混淆或澄清您，ETS也有一个GRE-to-GMAT converter.
Why do schools even take the GRE? Because they are casting a wider net to get more interesting students, and because they realize that lots of students think about joint degree programs. Harvard Business School was one of the first schools to accept the GRE, because, as Dee Leopold said in 2009
HBS:自从很多HBSapplicants are also considering graduate programs besides theMBA, there is now no need for them to take the GMAT if they have already taken the GRE. We believe that the GMAT and the GRE meet our expectations of what a standardized test can tell us about a candidate's ability to thrive in ourMBA程序。
The Rumor Mill
Face it, both tests are standardized, and both are computer adaptive. They are both annoying and require more studying than you want. Most, but not all schools are perfectly happy to take either. For example, this line is from Michigan Ross's application instructions:
罗斯：Your performance on either exam will be used as part of our assessment of your academic ability, and you are at no advantage or disadvantage by taking one exam instead of the other.
。But other schools, such as UCLA Anderson, strongly prefer the GMAT
ANDERSON:We strongly prefer the GMAT as a standard by which to evaluate all applicants, but we will accept GRE scores instead.
That means you have to check carefully and rely on what you read and hear from admissions officers, beyond what is on forums, and even blogs like mine. Caution,接下来的几行完全是传闻！这可能是一个怪癖，沟通不畅或已改变的政策。例如，我有一个学生为哥伦比亚（Columbia）带来了GRE的表现，但他觉得他想带GMAT证明他的数量很高。他的表现不佳，因为他过了一天，但是由于他参加了考试，哥伦比亚拿走了他的GMAT而不是GRE。如果他不报告GMAT会发生什么？谁知道。（无论如何，他还是要去耶鲁大学，他的第一选择）。
Your Quant Score
大多数招生人员都承认，他们希望在口头和量子上看到平衡的得分。一般的嗡嗡声是，两者的80％大约是正确的，但是双方肯定有一些捐赠。因此，不要担心如果您获得47的量子，那么如今，这将是78％。至于GRE，众所周知，您正在针对不同的人群进行衡量，通常不像GMAT测试者那样量化。因此，拍摄的百分比更高，例如量化约85％。
If you are worried about how you look by taking one test vs. another, I say, don't worry unless they really make a point of it (like UCLA).
Having said all that, if test taking is not your forte, you really should take a GRE or gmat course. You don't know what you don't know about your own study habits. It's worth the investment.

Why take the GRE when some accept the GRE, but all accept theGMAT?
一些正在参加联合学位课程的人认为GRE可以为他们的计划做得更好。
OR, some have already taken the GRE because they wanted to keep their options open for a range of graduate programs, and then decided on business school.

Great post and you're definitely right about the rationale behind chosing betweenGMATand GRE. In Europe,GMATtend to be more common than GRE so if you know you want to attend business school there you might as well go with theGMAT。一个人可能还暗示你的原始GMATscore is somewhat easier to benchmark since it's more common, although this hardly applies for any admission office.
Interesting. I have a good friend who is an econ major at a top undergrad school, and she's going into finance. She is trying to convince me that she should take the GRE because she'll get a higher score, but I'm concerned that most people with her profile will have taken theGMAT。Is it important that you take the test that people with a similar profile do (i.e. bankers and consultants should take theGMAT)?
Hi Mango,
It isn't clear whether she will get a higher score, but if she thinks she will, then that is as good a reason as any to take the GRE.
在类似的地方HBS, I don't think she will be compared on an两者任一对其他人的基础GMAT。不过，她会比较她的百分位数，我想说的是，GRE的量子比GMAT。So in the end, it's not clear which is better for her.
Some people just get a rash when thinking about theGMAT, which is understandable, and might feel less stressed by the GRE. Since both tests are head trips, the lower the stress the better.

Thanks, Kejsaren,
的确，GMATis more common all over the world, and the ETS (creator of the GRE) is trying to get in on the act. Over the last few years, I've seen more and more students who took the GRE right out of undergrad, just because. Now that business schools are collecting more data on GRE-admits and matriculants, they are getting more comfortable with the GRE.
The real reason to put this table up was to show what schools are saying about both tests. That's why I put all those links in -- I was kind of surprised to see how it came out after doing the research. I did this back in 2011 and the table didn't have quite as many "yesses"

Hi Betsy,
I had a question onGMATsplits. I recently took the test for a 2nd time and scored a 710, with a 47Q (73rd percentile) and 41V (93rd percentile) placing me in the 92nd percentile overall. Initially, I was satisfied with my score, but after reading your post I was curious how adcomms will perceive the difference between my V and my Q. If I'm aiming for a top-10 business school, will a 710 cut it with a notably stronger verbal performance? To give you a bit more information, I have a pretty math-heavy background having graduated with aBS在工程领域，完成了三年的银行业务（其中两家在顶级公司），并将加入私人产权firm in a few months. Your thoughts are appreciated.
嗨，岛银行家，我在这里回答这个问题，并将在我的问答线程中重新发布，希望我不会被视为垃圾邮件。我也想把答案放在那儿，因为它是如此有趣，这是一个非常受欢迎的问题。
The 47 quant score is not a deal-killer for you, particularly that you have an engineering background. Admissions reps know you can do the math, and considering your grades in the challenging courses, they will not worry too much about the percentile. This is because over the years a lot of very talented and good-at-test-taking students from overseas are boosting the quant range. The data is actually available on the GMAC website, and I should probably dig into it more for verification. (Watch this space).
The other thing about your candidacy is that you are already in finance and have a the kind of career path that shows progression and increasing challenge. A job in私人产权在银行业务确保招生后，您已经根据智能，个性和是的，已经跳过了一些酒吧。这些公司正在寻找与商学院相似的特征。（但是请注意，他们关心整个包裹）。
I personally like the fact that you are a math/science guy who can read and write. That makes your contribution well-rounded and, depending on the rest of your profile, more interesting. As Dee Leopold, head ofHBSadmissions often says, "We know you are smart, but are you interesting?" Note that she also says the same thing in reverse: "We know you are interesting, but are you smart? Yes, we are a school."
Does that help?
Betsy

Can't business schools use the GRE as a way of accepting a lower score person without impacting theirGMATaverage for ranking purposes?
