Should I be taking the GRE?

I have already attempted the GMAT and have a score of 700+. My last application round wasn’t bad since I made it to a few colleges but was mostly waitlisted. My undergrad GPA is pretty terrible sub 2.6. Would it helpful for me to take the GRE and supplement my GMAT score as a way to overcome my low GPA? I am already planning on taking one of the extension courses from UCLA but wondering if it would be worth to take the GRE as well.

Unless the school you desire really loves GRE I would personally advise against . It is way better to do an internship , volunteering or even do personal projects that showcase your interest for the field than waste time on a standardize test .

I’m in the military so not a lot of opportunities in terms of options you mentioned. My verbal has been stronger than my quant so I was hoping to get a batter GRE score than my GMAT.
