At good schools, the GRE is just a formality, especially the general test. Research experience and recommendations are more important. Top math and CS departments don't really care about the GRE general at all.
- neilc 18y agoThis is absolutely true. Top CS programs don't even care about the CS GRE very much, at least in my experience (e.g. I didn't have time to write it before applying to grad school, and it wasn't a big deal).
- Alex3917 18y agoSo the "best" schools make you take a test they don't even care about? Yeah, they sure sound really good to me.
- eli 18y agoWell, no, it's not required everywhere. And the GRE isn't meaningless, it's merely one factor among many.

- davi 18y agoI don't think this is true in neuroscience -- GREs are more than a formality.
