Can I take GMAT for Fulbright Scholarship?

No, you cannot take the GMAT and apply for the Fulbright. GRE is mandatory for applying to the Fulbright program even if you are applying for an MBA degree or another degree that requires the GMAT. All applicants must plan to take the general GRE and if selected and if required they may be asked to take the GMAT. USEFP can ask MBA applicants to take the GMAT after they have been successfully selected for the Fulbright scholarship. But they are still required to take the GRE exam at the time of application.

Although the GRE is not much different from GMAT in terms of the content, the latter tends to be a more difficult exam. Therefore I would say that in a way, it is a good thing that you have to take the GRE. However, I am against taking both the tests before the Fulbright deadline as it would add to the costs of taking the test and also to the amount of work one has to do. It is better to take the GRE first before the deadline and then take the GMAT only if you are selected by the Fulbright. Taking the GMAT after the GRE requires 3-4 weeks of additional studying and preparation.
