Hi,

I appeared for GMAT second time and even after trying my best, scored 490 only. I got 45-Q and 18-Verbal. In my first attempt last year, I got 540.

Can I go now GRE now as I find GRE much easier for me than GMAT?
Sending GRE scores again when GMAT Scores(both attempts -- by default : GMAC) already submitted to same BSCHOOLS, how Adcom is going to react??

I am having 6.5 years of Telecom and targeting schools like SMEAL, Texas A&M, Wisconsin Madison, NUS, BYU.

Please suggest !!

Thanks,
Rohit

Rohit--the GRE is a good strategy since you not only may score better (as you indicate) but also the schools are not obligated to report their "average GRE" score so they can be a bit more lenient on you if they like you otherwise.
