GMAT or GRE? Which one is easier?

Hi All,

I’m new to this bowl. My experience is in accounting but I’m looking to transition to defense sector consulting. My undergrad degree is in criminal justice and then went the business route for grad. I’m looking to get back to my roots. Does anyone here have experience in weighing Georgetown’s SSP program (or similar) versus an MBA?

TIA!

I am a working mom and am hell bent on pursuing my MBA. Any advices on the prep for GMAT? Or would GRE better suit my scenario than the GMAT? Appreciate your responses!

Wondering if people think an emba is still worth it for a 34 year old. I already have a masters degree - main purpose would just be a resume boost from a top tier program. Thoughts?

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

What do people take into account when deciding your exit date before grad school? What is a typical last day for GSAP folks?

I am currently earning 13.5 LPA fixed with two years of work experience (management consulting) and passed out a top B school (Top 30). I wish to purse my PGP from ISB next year for career progression and brand value in my CV.
