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

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.

Or does anyone have tips about how to build useful skills for in-house in my current role?

Genuinely curious question: why do so many international students want to get MBAs in the US... it’s hard for them to get work here, with Trump it’s hard to even get and stay here, so what’s the appeal? There are plenty of other good universities internationally so why the expensive ones in the US?
