Hello,
My question is regarding a friend's situation:
He took the GMAT, did relatively poorly (550), and had his scores sent to schools. However, he just found out that his top choice school - NYU Stern, now accepts GRE.
If he were to take the GRE (which is significantly easier than the GMAT) and do well, how would the adcom view it? When you take GMAT twice, they simply disregard the lower score... but what about when you take one GMAT and one GRE?
I should note that the rest of his app is stellar, with a good gpa, non profit exp, international volunteer work, and much more. His biggest fault is his poor standardized test performance.
Thanks!
