Quant harder on gmat
Verbal harder on gre

Identify your strengths and weaknesses before you choose.

Study material price wise: I think gre is cheaper with options from Gregmat + prep swift, but curious if anyone disagrees.

Tutoring will run about the same price for both

GRE is the easier test, some firms see it as a cop out for people unable to do math

Which firms?

What do you mean by better

Having done both GRE is significantly easier and I know many ppl who have perfect GRE scores vs. No one I know who has a perfect gmat

It doesn’t matter. GRE gives you more options if you want to tag another degree later. GMAT is easier if you are more geared toward quant reasoning.

I promise nobody cares which one you take. If firms/jobs are really asking which one you took AFTER you already got your MBA, that’s just weird and I wouldn’t work for them.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
