Got 720 on GMAT. Much better at verbal than quant. Should I try GRE? Have 2 years until I apply.

How many attempts to 720?

How is the rest of your application looking (experience, ECs, etc.)?
I personally wouldn’t bother but I have MBB on my resume and good ECs so I can be comfortable with a slightly below entrance average GMAT. Whether you feel comfortable with it depends on the rest of your profile

IMO quant is easy and gamable on the gmat. I started out with Q51 on the first mock I wrote and stayed there but I’ve helped friends go from 40 to 48/49 in a week.
