Long story short: I didn't plan on applying for MBA school for 2022 entry because I wanted to wait until I felt confident that classes would be in-person all year round. However, my asian parents are basically threatening to disown me if I don't apply for fall entry this year. They're obsessed with...

I have Bachelors degree in Social Work (with low GPA) and I studied MA in Economics in Georgia (country). I had several...

Some background: I graduated from a non-target state school with a 3.15 GPA (B.S. Economics - had a dreadful start but recovered strongly in the back half of my degree) Worked as an investment analyst intern for 1.25 yrs at my school's endowment (did some really cool in-depth work, lots of stories...

Applying to deferred programs this march. I currently attend a top 20 undergrad and have a 3.9+ GPA. I also interned last summer at a BB and will be going back FT there next year. Do you think taking the GRE instead of the GMAT would hurt my chances at a top 5 B-School? I'm really torn as I don't...

我目前的过程中applying to business school via the deferred admission route, and would like to give my $0.02 on the decision of whether to take the GMAT or GRE. When I first decided on whether to really focus on the GRE or GMAT for business school I looked at a bunch of posts on...

I've noticed that a lot of the posts about b-school admissions express concern about either a low GPA or test score. Well, I've got advice for those of you experience those concerns, and I'll be providing it during our next free webinar "Get Accepted to Top MBA Programs with Low Stats" on Thursday...

I've been trying to find a thread that relates to this, but haven't found a relevant one. I'm planning on pursuing a MBA dual degree with a masters in another field (leaning towards urban planning, but basically something that doesn't require the GMAT). The plus side with urban planning and some...

Hi, I'm a prospective MBA applicant. I was wondering why people take the GRE instead of the GMAT when applying to b-school. Is there any consequences in doing that? For example, can you still get a scholarship? You don't really affect the school's stats by taking the GRE, so I can see that as a plus...

I have heard anecdotally from my network that campus recruiting for post MBA associates/summer associates can utilize GMAT scores as a filter for candidates. I have also heard the opposite. Would I be at a disadvantage for IBD recruiting if I elected to take the GRE instead of the GMAT? Any...

Looked around for a specific answer around this forum, but could not find it. Are you OK with a GRE score coming out of a B School where MBB recruit? I understand that MBBs will accept GRE scores from Phd candidates, etc - but is there an expectation that MBA students to have taken the GRE?

Hi All, I took the GRE last year (prospective PhD applicant) and scored 162Q/163V/5.5AW. However, I recently decided to take a job in strategy consulting at a boutique (think LEK/Parthenon/ATK/OW) and am now considering business school in 3-4 years. I was wondering how this GRE score would be viewed...

If I take the GRE now for a masters program, would I be able to only show a business school my GMAT if I take that in a few years. Basically I am wondering if I'd have to report the GRE to business schools if I take both. Thanks

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? In all honesty, I think the answer is either, but it's not entirely black and white. First, not all business schools accept the GRE....

I scored in the low 160s for both the quant and verbal section of the GRE. My quant score needs improvement. I have a low GPA and plan on applying for a MSF program. I suspect a high gmat score would be better than a high GRE to offset my GPA (this would allow the school to boast about high GMAT #'s...

press release I received from Kaplan (kaptest.com), thought it was relevant for you guys so thought i'd post it up ---------------------- Kaplan Test Prep Survey: 69% of Business Schools Now Accept GRE, But the Overwhelming Majority of MBA Applicants Are Wary of Abandoning the Traditional GMAT Route

Hey all, I'm planning on taking a graduate entrance in fall/early winter, and am unsure as to whether to take the GRE or GMAT (if it even matters). I want to pursue either an MsF (probably) or an MSFE (less likely). I won't have time between now and then to study effecitvely for both (I plan on...

Hey Selling all of these books one by one or in bulk for $150. All of them are in good condition. There is no writing or highlights any of the books so all of the exercises are intact. Full disclosure: GMAT format has changed and they added a new section. None of these books cover it, however, the...

All, I'm in the process of applying to bschool and have been getting this conflicting opinions on how gmat and gre are viewed when it comes to recruiting. I'm not sure if I'll develop an interest in IB later along the application process but I know I'm very interested in Consulting and some elements...

Hi monkeys! I just discovered the Khan Academy website and it looks a great resource. I have my GRE in a month. I am aiming to get into business school next fall. I'm doing alright with studying but still bad on math. Is Khan Academy a good resource to study from for the GRE? I always hear the GRE...

I got a 3.0 for AW on my GRE.. 10th percentile.. managed 780/800 for Q/V sections.. am I screwed?

Just took the GMAT this morning and I got a 720. That's the 94th percentile you say, good for you! Except not. My breakdown is 41Q, 48V which equates to the 58th percentile on the quant part and well into the 99th percentile for verbal. Problem is, most schools could care less about my verbal score....

Dear Monkeys, What documents do you you use when it comes to supporting documents on your application on the BB website to get noticed other than cover letter, transcripts the basic stuff? SAT score? GRE score? or your published paper? How do you stand out and not get weed out on the BB's website?

When b-schools accept GMAT or GRE it seems that more preference is given to GMAT. Since MIT's M.Fin accepts both scores which would be the better to submit? Thanks.

hello, A friend of mine is interested in applying to top 5 MBA program via GRE. Don't ask me why not just GMAT because that's a whole another story. Her overall profile is solid, but I don't really want to go into that discussion. Since GRE is still relatively a new phenomenon for Bschool...

Do admissions officials at top tier MFE programs care about the verbal part of the GRE? Specifically, I have an 800Q, and will likely get a good writing score, but my verbal is usually between 600-650. Since I'm a native speaker, this may not look that good. Would I be better off just taking the...
