I can't remember when a student's GRE quantitative score was a better percentile rank than their GMAT quantitative score.
On the other hand, I would guess that its easier to get a better percentile rank on the verbal GRE sections than "proffessional" graduate exams because the number of non-native English speakers is probably higher.

Well then, I direct the original question to you. In those 100s of Phd apps, what would you typically consider to be a good score on the GRE? If what I've got isn't good enough, I probably will take it again, unless I decide to jump ship and join forces with the lawyers.
