337 GRE helpful for recruiting?

Hey guys. I'm a rising sophomore in a semi-target (not a business school). I have been thinking of getting into a good grad business school for a master's degree during my entire freshman year. But I changed my mind in the middle and decided to give it a shot for IB recruiting. Anyway, I didn't give up preparing for GRE, though spent most of my time learning technicals. A couple of weeks ago, I got my GRE general test, and it was 167 for verbal and 170 for quantitative. Does the score help in any way, or banks just won't care about it?

Apologize if the question is stupid, but I'm just trying to figure out if I was just wasting my time during the last year lmfao

Banks won't care or ask about your GRE or GMAT. However, I used GRE for my MBA as I wasn't sure what I was going to do and that score is good enough for a top school. Your GRE is only good for 2 years I believe so you're a bit early there on the testing. 

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
 

People don't know the GRE percentiles off the top of their head so they won't know what it means unless they google it. Even if they do just not really that helpful. 

Good news is there wasn't too much you could be doing freshman year besides getting a good GPA, so it's not like you're behind. Get started on the networking once school starts
