【GRE高分被哈佛商学院录取】

   　In general, top business schools will belooking for fairly high percentile scores on the GRE, especially on thequantitative section. I had one client this year who, while phenomenal in manyways, could not achieve a GMAT score above 600. Her quantitative percentilecame in around 40—half of the target score. Although I've seen applicantsadmitted with very low GMAT scores in the past, we decided to take advantage ofthis new option and submit her application to Harvard Business School with the GRE instead. Despite a lower overall performance, her GRE results boasted amuch higher quant score, and in the end, she was admitted to HBS.

　　总的来说，顶尖商科学校往往很青睐GRE高分，特别是数学版块。今年我接触过一个客户，虽然很多方面都很拔尖，但是GMAT达不到600. 他数学才拿了40分，还不到目标分数的一半。尽管以前也有过低分GMAT申请者被录取的情况，但我们还是决定利用下这个新规定，帮她在申请哈佛时，上报 GRE分数而非GMAT。虽然总体成绩低了些，但她的GRE分数高了很多，最后成功被哈佛大学商学院录取。

　　Keep in mind that anyone taking the GRE after August 1 will miss round one deadlines at most schools, as scores won't become available until after November. In my view, the GRE is a viable option for manycandidates and should be considered a perfectly reasonable choice for anyschool that accepts it.

【GRE&GMAT选考各有利弊】

　　有一点要注意，对大部分学校来说，凡是在8月1号后参加GRE的都会错过最后申请日期，因为成绩要到11月份才出来。我个人还是很提倡申请者用GRE分数的，对大多数承认GRE分数的院校来说，这绝对是个值得强烈推荐的选择。

　　However, if you are a GRE at test-taker andit's all the same to you, I would stick with GMAT for now. It's more of a knownentity and "tried and true" for the schools—no questions asked aboutwhy you chose it. This time next year we'll have a clearer picture of things asthe GRE becomes more common in the context of b-school admissions, and once the so-called Next Generation GMAT—with its new integrated reasoning section—debutsin June 2012.

　　但是，如果你考商特高，不管什么考试对你来说都能轻松拿下，那么我还是建议你选GMAT。毕竟GMAT的名声在外，对于大多数院校来说都是屡试不爽的，所以它当仁不让地将成为你的最佳选择。明年的这个时候，采用GRE分数在申请商科院校时，会较现在更普遍;到那时候，我们对整个局势的认识也会更明朗。而所谓的新一代GMAT也将在2012年6月与大家见面，其中添加了一个综合推理的版块。
