GRE vs GMAT - which one is better long term Admissions?

Not all entrance exams hold the same value after admissions. Here’s how GMAT Focus and GRE compare in the long run:

• GMAT Focus is designed specifically for business programs. It’s still the preferred test for MBAs, MiMs, and other management degrees.
• GRE is more general — useful if applying to a mix of programs like economics, public policy, or analytics alongside business.
• Many B-schools list GMAT averages in class profiles, and some recruiters — especially in consulting roles at firms like Bain or BCG — still ask for GMAT scores during hiring.
• GMAT scores are often tied to merit scholarships. GRE can work too, but it’s less commonly linked to financial aid.
• Some dual-degree programs (like MBA + MS in Data Science) accept both, but GMAT lines up better with what business schools expect.

If the plan is to stay in business long term, GMAT Focus is the better bet. GRE works well for broader options but may not carry the same weight in the B-school world.
