Does anyone have any insight on how GRE vs GMAT is viewed? I took a shot at the GRE with a few hours of studying (for a non-bschool program I was considering). I figured I'd just study more and take the GMAT for bschool if needed. With an 800 / 630 / 4.5 though, I don't need to bother with the GMAT, do I? The % breakdown was 93 / 91 / 67. I'm targeting top 5, and my other stats are near or a little above average for those schools.

AW could be better, seeing as
AW could be better, seeing as I'm guessing your native and non business schools get caught up on that more. For business schools, you're solid.

You need to take the GMAT. I mention my GRE on apps because I got an 800Q but what they're really looking for is the GMAT.

A lot of business schools
A lot of business schools accept the GRE now. But would have to agree that they look at GMAT more favourably. Really depends on your choice of program.
I have the exact same score
I have the exact same score Q800 V630 AW 4.5. I am taking the GMAT instead of retaking the GRE. Agree with FinancialNoviceII that though schools accept GRE now, GMAT is still preferred from what I know. Though I honestly expected a higher comparative GMAT score with my GRE one.
