Does GRE work instead of ACT/SAT for full-time consulting recruiting?

Considering recruiting full time for consulting jobs in the coming fall. I know firms usually require 32+ ACT/SAT, but would a GRE work? I would need to retake the ACT/SAT to be competitive, but taking the GRE would allow me to kill two birds with one stone (MBA admissions and consulting recruiting)

Thanks in advance

GRE is fine, yes.

BTW, Informal cutoff is 30 and feels a little light, and then if you get 35 or 36 it looks really good, but 31-34 is all the same.

Remember, always be kind-hearted.
