Hi Everyone,

I'm planning to apply to some of the top schools in the US in round 2. I believe that I have a very strong profile but gmat/gre has been the problem. I have a score of 680 (m47,V36) plus 2 retakes (1 - 650 and the other canceled score since I was sick and couldnt complete it). After some research, I thought 4th attempt might be too risky so I took the GRE and scored Verbal - 158 (77%) and Math - 162 (86%). The sectional scores are better on GRE but the GRE comparison tool from ETS predicts a score of 670. What would be the better score in this case? Considering I want to apply to the top schools (harvard/kellogg/wharton), which score should i go with? Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Since you are applying to top B-school MBA programs you should go with GMAT. Also since your comparative GRE score is lower than you highest GMAT score of 680, it makes no sense to report GRE score over GMAT. Also R1 deadlines for top US B-schools are drying quickly I would advice to forget scores and start working on your B-school essays as they are the next important step in the B-school application.

Well, go with the GMAT. It's the highest. And the GRE is always a bit of a downgrade for Bschools.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
