Would someone who took the GRE and got into a top 30 program mind sharing their story? Scores/what program they attend or attended/years of work experience? Trying to decide between GMAT and GRE.

GREs are for GDIs

If that's the case then you've certainly swayed me. Thank you B1!

Why are you shooting for top 30? Curious, usually hear M7 or Top 20

If you want to do a MBA, do GMAT. If you are interested in non-MBAs do GRE. They say that GRE is equal to GMAT for some grad programs, but I think that the GMAT is much harder so I am not sure if they are viewed as equals. With that said, you might be able to get a higher GRE since it is easier!

I did the GRE but it was for a non-MBA. Pretty easy and grade requirements are too demanding

Aren't*

Plenty do GRE - buddy of mine went to MIT with a 320 GRE

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?
