GMAT instead of SAT on HH applications?

I'm aware that many HH firms ask for SAT scores on their applications. Is it possible to not disclose SAT scores and show only gmat scores without raising any red flags?

In your experience, how many HH firms even ask for SAT scores? ~90%?

Thanks!

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“I appreciated John sharing a list of headhunters after the session, which was useful. During the call, though, I had to ask very specific, in-depth questions to get any input, and the conversation felt one-directional. More proactive guidance and practical insights would make his sessions much more valuable for mentees.”
