GMAT vs GRE advice needed!

[fashionindustryapplicant]

Hi,

Could you advise which score I should submit to schools that accept the GRE (or could I submit both GMAT and GRE scores to reflect my aptitude).

Just a brief background, I was an art history major and have worked in the fashion publishing and financial services (marketing) segments, so I believe that schools would place an emphasis on my quantitative ability, but didn't want to show that I have a weak verbal score either.


GMAT (taken several times, highest score):
620 (66%V and 68%Q)

GRE (taken once):
V490 Q700


much appreciated!
Grace

Dear Grace,

Good question. You can certainly submit both scores if you wish. It is hard to find any statistics with regards to average GRE scores for business schools as it is a recent development that some MBA programs are willing to take the GRE instead of the GMAT for applicants who are not applying to a joint degree program. You do want to go with the one that reflects better on you; however, I am not sure there is a significant difference between your GMAT and GRE scores in this regard. I wish I could be of more help here, but I think it will be a judgment call that only you can make on whether to submit one versus the other or both.

Good luck,
Lisa
