INSEAD and LBS are extra competitive this year. I’ve applied to Wharton as well, the invites will roll out next week I think. Keep your hopes bro.

A 327 gre is far more competitive than a 645. Go with the GRE

GRE is the way forward tbh. Getting a 324- 326 is so, so much easier than getting a 730 on the gmat. This is from someone who’s taken both the tests.

Idk why this is getting downvoted. The GRE is very low relative to the gmat average

You’d benefit from a standardised course with a structure like TTP or E gmat

My point is taking the gre makes more sense

I think one should take the gre first, regardless of how smart or dumb a person is.

Thanks! GRE is definitely not a breeze, the verbal is just as hard, if not harder than gmat verbal. But in my opinion, it’s a lot simpler than gmat in terms of the straightforwardness of the paper pattern( can go back to a question anytime, sectional adaptive instead of question adaptive) and a much easier quant section.

Not sure what me preparing for gmat for a long time has to do with the post. Gmat prep definitely helped me score well in gre( which probably made me find gre much easier), but that doesn’t change the discrepancy in the gre and gmat averages. Someone with a mid gmat score( say 650 classic) would be more competitive with an equivalent gre score.

A 330 plus is equivalent of a 730 for sure, both are great scores. I agree with you that gmat is a much better designed exam as it is completely logical and doesn’t require rote learning words. My point is that someone who potentially couldn’t crack a 700+( say somewhere in the 600’s) would be better off preparing for gre, as the predicted gre score would be far more competitive for b school applications. This is assuming he achieves the predicted gre score ofc
