Has anyone here applied to Chicago Booth MFin with GRE instead of GMAT?What  is the average gre score for chicago booth mfin?

Yes, Booth&rsquo;s MFin accepts GRE, and it&rsquo;s actually the dominant test in the class profile. Around 89% of students submitted GRE scores, with averages close to Quant 169 and Verbal 162. The average GRE score for Chicago Booth MFin is roughly 331&ndash;332 combined, which puts the competitive range at 330+.
For Indian applicants, the Quant score is the real filter. A 167+ is safe, but most admitted candidates sit at 169&ndash;170. Verbal doesn&rsquo;t have to be maxed out, but being at least 160+ keeps the balance strong. Since Booth publishes both average and median (Quant median is literally 170), scoring below that range can make the application look weaker unless offset with CFA, strong math grades, or research.

The interesting part is that Booth&rsquo;s MFin isn&rsquo;t GMAT-heavy at all&mdash;almost 9 out of 10 students got in with a GRE.
&bull; Reported Quant scores are extremely high, with the median at 170. That shows how math-focused the program is. Anything under 166 makes the profile risky. &bull; The Verbal average is 161, so hitting 160+ is usually enough to stay competitive. &bull; A combined GRE score around 330 puts you right in line with recent admits, but hitting closer to 332&ndash;335 strengthens chances, especially for Indian applicants. &bull; Since most people applying to Booth MFin have strong math or finance backgrounds, adcoms expect near-perfect quant. If coding or advanced math isn&rsquo;t in the profile, the GRE Quant score becomes even more important.
