GRE or GMAT

by frank1 » Tue Apr 20, 2010 7:22 pm
Well, i could not find appropriate section so I am posting it here
I am Computer Info management graduate (which is under management faculty in my country) with CGPA of 3.93 .I am web entrepreneur and programmer and have created numerous web apps for my clients.
I am into business and programming both.
I am planning to pursue my masters but I am very confused either I should go with some masters courses like MBA(IS) or MS(Computer)
I am confident that I can do good in both of them, but I need to chose one for now even I need to decide either to go for GRE or GMAT as those 2 courses requires different tests.
So what do you suggest?
People say getting scholarship in MBA courses is much harder than getting scholarship in Computer courses. Is it true?
And I know it is difficult to quantify but which is relatively difficult GRE or GMAT?

consider this

GRE = you can apply for MS/MIS. However after few years of working if you develop passion for MBA then very few institutes consider GRE scores for MBA. Even if they do consider then chances of getting into B-school is less.

GMAT= you can apply for MIS/MBA.
The journey is everything...

that way seems like GRE is better
in addition
people say GRE overall is easier than GMAT (ok verbal i love remembering words)
Many B school takes GRE as well but i have not seen any computer school taking GMAT
People say getting scholarship in MS can be easier than getting scholarship in B school


Price of GRE is less as well
