Princeton MFin received 1,064 applications for their Fall 2024. This is their all-time record and the first time they broke the 1,000 mark.
Will be curious to see what the trend looks like this year. They have a very short admission window compared to other programs.

I have written the GMAT focus edition exam and have secured 100th percentile in quant. Do I need to also write the GRE? Would a GMAT score put me at a disadvantage? Experienced people like @Andy Nguyen please comment!

 

[Andy Nguyen]

No need to do the GRE if you already did the GMAT and have a 100th percentile in Q. That's all they want to see in either tests.
The choice of taking GRE or GMAT comes down to the type of programs you apply to. Business school programs usually require GMAT.

Thank you so much. The Princeton MFin thread is so quiet even when the deadlines are near. Strange!
