Those who elected to take the GRE instead of the GMAT, would you mind posting your score and where you went to BSchool?

170V/167Q/5.5AWA — HBS

(Note: This is after I took a practice GMAT, got a 630 💁‍♂️...decided on GRE, and then studied my butt off for two months)

FWIW, Most of the M7 now post mean/median GRE scores, which is helpful. Additionally, like the GMAT, good scores won’t get you in, bad scores can keep you out (i.e. it’s a check-box).

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
