<div><p> MBA applicants are stumped. They don't know which of the entrance exams -- the Graduate Management Admission Test [GMAT] or the Graduate Record Examination [GRE] -- will better serve them and increase their chances of getting into a top-tier business school. The schools that have agreed to accept both exams are toeing the line and saying that either score should be fine. "Good people always manage to shine whether they take the GMAT or GRE," says Rod Garcia, director of MBA admissions at the MIT Sloan School of Management [Sloan Full-Time MBA Profile], which was among the first B-schools to accept both tests. But admissions consultants, who help aspiring MBAs prepare their applications, are not so sure that's the case. They're advising their clients a bit differently than you'd expect.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=66127384&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
