Many MBA programs are now accepting the Revised GRE test for admissions.  We recently wrote a post on our blog which covers most of what you’d need to know about [the specifics of the revised GRE, in case you’re unfamiliar with it.  In any case, the GMAT has dominated this market for a long time, but this new version of the GRE is making serious inroads.  Fourteen of the ](https://www.myguruedge.com/2012/01/27/the-revised-gre/)[top 20 MBA programs](http://www.forbes.com/lists/2011/95/best-business-schools-11_land.html) accept the GRE for admissions and 3 of the six holdouts in the top 20 accept the GRE for their evening and weekend MBA programs.

So, which test is right for you? Here’s what we’ve been telling students at [MyGuru](https://www.myguruedge.com/):

Interestingly, we’ve worked with a lot of students on GRE prep over the past few years, and only one of these students was using the GRE to apply to business school.  But, it seems to be gaining in popularity at a steady pace.  It’s also important to remember that the conversation about this is ongoing, and is about to get a lot more interesting. The GMAT is changing too in [June of 2012](http://www.gmac.com/gmac/TheGMAT/NextGenerationGMATInfoCenter/). They’re dropping an essay and adding a ‘Integrated Reasoning’ section. This adds a new wrinkle to any decision about which test to take. Stay tuned for updates on the [GRE](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/gre-and-the-graduate-school-admissions-process/) and [GMAT](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/gmat-blog/).
