Question time: You took the GRE right? Did you ever attempt the GMAT? Does it really matter which one we take?

Question time: You took the GRE right? Did you ever attempt the GMAT? Does it really matter which one we take?

I took the GRE.  I sat down with the GMAT book for 10 minutes because I was going to apply to both LGO and Tauber at Michigan.  However, my only real motives to go to Michigan were to hang out with my old roommate from college while he was in his final year of law school.  I really like him, but I guess my motivation wasn’t that strong.  I really just wanted to stay in Boston.  I had taken the GRE right after college, so I just used that.  I didn’t really worry about my test score.  I focused on the parts of the application that really told my story: essays, recs and cover letter.

Thus, for me it did not matter.  I guess if you want to take both, mine as well just submit the one that’s better, right?
