Applying to B schools with GRE score

by Rohith Menon » Sat Oct 24, 2015 12:42 am
Hello All,

I had taken the GRE instead of the GMAT since I heard GRE is also widely accepted by B schools these days. Kindly suggest suitable and best B-schools (world-wide) according to my scores mentioned below:

GRE : 305 (Verbal- 147, Quant- 158)
IELTS : 7
Years of Professional Work Experience (MNC) : 5
Excellent record of co-curricular activities
High School CGPA :3.5 (Converted from Percentage scores in Indian schools)
Upper High School CGPA : 3.24 (Converted from Percentage scores in Indian schools)
Under Grad CGPA (B.Tech Deemed University) :2.5 (Converted from Percentage scores in Indian universities)

I found insufficient data over the Internet and hence would like to get personal suggestions from experts in this forum. Please suggest a list of good B schools that I can apply for Fall 2016. Thanks in advance :) [size=0][/size]

I don't know if I would say the GRE is being widely accepted in lieu of the GMAT. Some schools yes. Also, schools will probably prefer the GMAT and penalize you a bit for the GRE. Additionally, looking at your GRE score, I think that equates to about a 600 GMAT give or take 20 points. To suggest some schools, let me know what you are interested in studying, goals after school and where you want to be based before/after school.

Hello Micheal,

Thanks a lot for your response.. Will it be a good choice if I opt for MS in Management (International Business/Marketing/General Management) instead of an MBA with this profile of mine..??? If yes, could you please suggest a list of best universities that I can opt for..?? Thanks in advance.

Yes, going for a MS in management will typically get you out of having to take the GMAT. Although I still think you could do it with focused studying for three months. Many, many schools offer a MS in management of some kind. Where do you want to live after school? That will help narrow it down.
