Hi,

Thanks for your post. While taking the GRE can help demonstrate your quantitative skills, most MBA and MS programs look to the GMAT when evaluating candidates. A good score on the GRE Math can hep show you're great at taking test and smart, but it doesn't really do much to boost your chances of admission.

If you're looking to improve your quantitative profile, there is something you can do that would more beneficial to you and your profile. Depending on the courses you took in undergrad, you could do what is known as building a supplemental transcript and take courses in finance, statistics or accounting. These courses are "foundation" courses and earning A's in them will demonstrate your ability to be successful in the classroom as well as your interest in finance and thus could help boost your profile.

Best,

Stacey
