IBD recruiting without GMAT

Hi All - I realize GRE scores are being used more and more now in lieu of GMAT at some schools. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this will affect recruiting out of business school assuming good percentiles?

No one cares for job applications. I am surprised that you would even consider putting it on your CV?

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

Thanks for the replies. To clarify, I definitely do not plan to put it on my resume/CV, however, I thought it was pretty common knowledge that consulting and i-banks asked for your score as part of the recruitment. Is this not the case?

 

Good to hear, Astraeus. Would you mind sharing your GRE range? Also, interested to hear if MBB you met with had any questions about your reason for taking the GRE over the GMAT...
