Has anybody tried using GRE scores instead of GMAT. Any things to be mindful of before going down this route?

Used GRE scores from almost five years ago in round 1 and got invites to H/S/W. Haven't heard many issues with using GRE even during my pre-app research, and most that claimed GMAT to be better only said so due to legacy.

Don't think European schools accept GRE though..

Everything I've read and every consultant I've talked to says GMAT

Thanks C1... Based on my initial research, all schools I have looked so far seem to be accepting GRE as well. HEC, LBS, etc. in Europe do too. Insead is the one I am
Doubtful of. Thanks again for your insights!

Ah ok good to know. Good luck!

Are we allowed to be as obvious as possible during interviews on what clients we worked on so long as we don’t say their name? Ex: one of my clients went through a huge merger in x industry in my city, and if I were to state that in interviews it would be a dead give away. Is that okay?

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc).

Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?

Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.
