Good morning esteemed colleagues,

I received an official GRA offer which includes full tuition waiver and fees from my potential advisor yesterday for fall 2019 at University of Kansas (KU). She notified me by mail on Thursday that she had secured 2 years GRA offer for me regardless of the outcome the fellowship offer I was nominated and applied for 8 weeks ago. The offer is in addition to School of Engineering scholarship I was awarded 5 weeks back.

I greatly appreciate the effort of everyone on this thread. Full funding mail will continue to flow in for all.

As soon as you have been admitted into a University, your GRE score does not matter. It is just like asking what role UTME score plays in getting an internship or a job in Nigeria.

Nigeria isn’t the USA .... bracelum explains it beautifully.


bracelum:


It affects you if you're going to strategy/management consulting or investment banking. Some consulting firms like MBB, AT Kearney, BAH, Oliver Wyman (I think) look at your GMAT score. Yes, they prefer GMAT to GRE for those strategy consulting roles. Investment banks too do the same but if you network well, they might overlook it. Some of my MBA friends retook the GMAT either before they started their MBAs or during their first terms just before consulting recruitment started in October-December/January. Big 4 consulting firms do not really care about your GRE score. However, their consulting practices are not as prestigious as MBB.

Also for entry-level analyst roles, some consulting firms ask for SAT or ACT scores and for graduate students with no SAT scores, they usually seek for GMAT/GRE scores. However, your chances of an analyst position in top consulting firms is very slim for a graduate student with >1 year work experience.

But if you're targeting tech firms, they don't really bother about your GRE/GMAT and GPA. Big 4 consulting firms do not really bother about your GRE/GMAT.

That is the whole gist. It depends on your career path

Hello scholars, I bumped on this thread while searching for GRE study materials. However, I have so far been seeing scholars posting good news of their admission and funding into their desired universities.

In the light of above statement, I would be appreciative if successful applicants can give me an insight into their application process; I am a graduate of Educational Technology with a CGPA of 4.17/5.0 and I plan to write my GRE by July

1. Which of the universities can I apply for masters in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OR COMPUTER SCIENCE
2. How can I apply for funding

Thanks in anticipations for your response

i need answers please

Was the question about GRE or GMAT? Even your link addressed GMAT. GMAT/ GRE is an invention not introduced either by your link or anything available here as they are not the same. If the question was, what role does GMAT play. The answer then will be, some consulting firms etc still ask for it. But if the question is about GRE, I can categorically tell you, it plays no dot of a role. Anyways, when you get here, you will experience why.

Hi,

The question was "does a low GRE affect internship or job prospects in a business school?" Your answer is totally wrong because consulting firms and investment banks take test scores into consideration when recruiting business students. Tech firms do not. I know you didn't know about this and there is nothing bad acknowledging that you didn't know about it.

Thanks!

Read someone's previous posts to get a general sense about who they are and what they know. It will save you the stress associated with preaching to the choir. For instance, this information about GMAT is not new. The poster who asked that question could have easily Googled it as cyberspace is rife with the impact of GMAT in recruitment purposes for consulting firms. As for GRE, it is pure and undiluted zobo.

If it is worth your time, create a thread and ask nairalanders who are in such firms what roles their GRE played in it. If they were even asked about it to begin with. There are at least 3 people who used to be on this thread who are either interning there as we speak or are on full-time appointments. I am talking McKinsey, BAIN, I forget the last one but my mind is saying E&Y. Of the 3 of them, none scored higher than 306 in the GRE. I am giving fax...no printer.

Mtchew!
Spending much time talking about this is a waste of my time.

You're even contradicting yourself. So you agreed that GMAT plays a role in consulting recruitment. Then you went ahead and said GRE is not necessary to enter consulting. So are you trying to say that if a consulting firm advertises summer internship roles, and receive applications from GMAT and GRE candidates, they will review the test scores of applicants that wrote GMAT and then ignore test scores of those that wrote GRE? Does that sound logical? Don't even bother to respond - I can't waste precious time talking with someone that knows nothing about something and still feels like he knows it.

This is what happens when you don't know something but you never agree to admit you don't know it.

Have a great weekend - bye!

Don't put your hand in your toilet bowl and post it here as a comment hoping it won't be sh*t. GRE and GMAT are not the same. I conceded that GMAT plays a role but I said GRE does not. They are not the same exams and they don't even test the same things which is what I was pointing out to CuteRedd. One is generic (which is why business schools can accept it for ADMISSION purposes) but the other is specific and meant for ONLY business schools. Now you can tell why consulting firms could be fixated on one but not the other for JOB purposes.

Before you started posting feces, you said a few friends of yours retook what? GRE or GMAT? That was my point. If someone wanted to get into some consulting firm, they went on to take or retake the GMAT not GRE to bolster their chances. That is why I told you that 3 people I know on here who are in consulting firms had <306 GRE scores, how? Because some (at least 1 of them) took the GMAT. I can't argue with someone who does not even know what is being argued in the first place. Some people call them fools, but I would not.

Congrats! Do you still have those paper study packs?

Thank you very much bro. I really appreciate your generosity. I graduated from Adekunle Ajasin University. Yes I did a free online course in Data science using python, am also fluent in R and C++. I can also code in Matlab...... Thanks for the GRE wishes. Verbal can be a killer sha

Hi,

Finally, you've clearly displayed your ignorance. Again, I repeat, if you don't know anything, keep your damn mouth shut! You are just sounding like an illiterate trying to recite Newton's Law.

Let me educate you - when consulting firms recruit business students for strategy/management consulting roles, they ask for test scores which includes GMAT and GRE! However, they mostly prefer the GMAT to the GRE but that doesn't mean they don't look at your GRE.

And remember the emphasis on strategy and management consulting because these consulting firms do not care about test scores from students applying to specialized/technical consulting roles such as technology and data analytics. Even some HR consulting firms do not bother for test scores from business school candidates. So, the test scores issue is strictly for elite strategy/management consulting firms.

So, McKinsey for instance, will definitely look at your GMAT and/or GRE score while recruiting for their management consulting roles but they do not bother about your test scores while recruiting for their data science consulting roles.

So, you tried to turn the goalpost by telling me that at least one of your friends wrote the GMAT - I know this is bullshit and just an attempt to sound logical even after saying gibberish. But interestingly, your friend (if that is true in the first place) could have still gotten into that strategy consulting role (assuming he/she is in strategy consulting) even with that GRE score (I know this sounds like a surprise to you, hahaha. That was why I said you sounded illogical in your previous comment).

So, in summary, some consulting firms look at your GMAT or GRE scores when recruiting business school students but they prefer the GMAT. When recruiting PhDs, it is a different ball game. Therefore, I just clearly nullified your assertion that companies do not care about the GRE scores of business students.

And when I say some consulting firms, I mean the elite firms such as MBB, AT Kearney and co. Big 4 and niche consulting firms hardly give two fvcks about your test scores because hardly a Grade A MBA student in an elite school desires to work in consulting for a big 4 firm.

I know it is sad to be ridiculed infront of your fans. I know it is hard to say "I don't know this" in front of people who think you know it all. But when it comes to issues like this, it is very good to sit down and learn from people that know better than you.

So keep your mouth shut and stop spilling trash just to sound like you know what you're saying. Your fans will understand that you don't know it all.

Nonesense!!!!

Nonsense!!!!

LOL. You don't have time, you won't waste time... but found time to write another long pile of beautiful garbage. Everything you are saying will make sense to another question but not the one the original poster put forward.

pragya2017:
Does a low GRE score affect one's ability to get a good internship or job prospect after study especially for those in business school?
Or what does it affect apart from admission?

Thank you

You are trying so hard to hide your illogic behind many words but true to style - you have just out-rubbished your last sh*t post. Even from part of your hogwash, you already answered the question. If some firms ask for test scores you can take the GMAT for that very purpose. Your low GRE score that you used to secure an admit will not matter. There is no GMAT and GRE. That is sophistry. They will not ask for GRE to go with GMAT.

Now if your GRE score was toppest percentile and you feel there is no need to take the GMAT, you can provide them that score. But it does not answer the original poster's question because it is not a LOW GRE score.

In all of these, the GRE as it were is not playing any role beyond deciding whether one has to take the GMAT or not. So how is it going to affect anyone's chances? You are sounding like the GRE is some fixture like a GPA that one cannot do without. It is not. Something more valuable than it, to the recruiters, exists and can be used in lieu of it. Logic 101; it cannot affect my chances if I can do without it.

BTW, I am flummoxed by your brilliance. Not until this very moment did I realise that one could spew thrash and shut their mouths up whilst typing with their hands. I feel educated already.
