Took it before I knew I was going mba route. Had a good score so opted to not attempt the gmat. Worked out fine, got into M7

Definitely take GRE if you want to do dual degree and those programs accept GRE only. Schools don’t care

I took the GRE instead of the GMAT and did better percentile wise. Highly recommend it!

I took the GRE right after college and studying for the GMAT now. Got 164 on the Quant section but the verbal section (specifically vocab) killed me. I’m not good at memorization and new words just didn’t stick.

Thank you so much! I’m definitely feel more confident taking the GRE now :)

Word of caution - don’t do a dual degree program. It no longer looks “prestigious” and loses its wow factor soon after besides 16 yr olds being impressed that you have so many grad degrees. It’s a waste of $ and won’t help your career. An MBA will be more than sufficient

Does the GRE hold the same weight for HBS/GSB?

Hi all. I have a referral question. Long story short, I waited too long to apply for a SA role. I wanted to pass my PMP first (which I did on Friday) and went to apply to the role yesterday to see that it got taken down. I do have a friend who can refer me but does she have to wait for another posting to come up before she refers me? Or can she do it with an existing posting and I’ll get an internal link that isn’t attached to a specific posting? Did I lose my chance?
