Now that every top-ranked MBA program in the country accepts both scores in their application materials, all business school aspirants are forced to decide which of the two ordeals they will choose to undergo: the GMAT or the GRE. In this episode, Orion makes a convincing argument in favor of the GRE. Notwithstanding his obvious bias (he is a GRE master teacher, after all), this argument is based on the facts that the GRE is more portable, less logic-based (especially in the quantitative section), and associated with more favorable admissions rates at top-ranked business schools.
