Hi,

I have a GMAT score of 700(50q 34v). I do not have any work experience and am applying to oxford MFE and HEC paris MSC finance. My undergrad score is only 60%. Should i retake GMAT?
And what should be the minimum score i aim for?

And is a good GRE score a substitute for GMAT(the institutes accept GRE but i have heard that GMAT is preferable over GRE)??

Hello ankitagrawal079, thanks for your question.

Your quantitative score is obviously stellar, but I do worry just a bit about the verbal score. Typically I recommend 80%+ on both sides. Do you have an analogue that you could point to that is a better representation of your verbal ability? If not, I’d consider retaking, just for the verbal, and shoot to clear 80% there.

I still think schools prefer GMAT over GRE, but programs are increasingly accepting the GRE as a substitute. I think the 80% rule would apply to the GRE, as well.

I hope this helps!

Best of luck,
Brian

When it comes to MFE/MSF programs, they really focus on the quant section so I would not worry. As long as you can type a coherent admissions essay and pass their TOEFL requirements.
