  • Step 1—Tuesday, April 17, 2018: Should I Take the GMAT or the GRE?

As the number of programs accepting the GRE continues to grow, aspiring MBAs are becoming more and more confused about this element of the application process. During this live session, learn how the two tests differ, which test specific MBA programs accept, how the content and scores relate, and other useful details—and move a little closer to crossing another important decision off your to-do list!

  • Step 4—Thursday, April 26, 2018: How Do I Get a Top Score on the GMAT or the GRE?

In this session, mbaMission will use this simple but often perplexing question as the starting point to a workshop for prospective business school applicants.
