- jrockway 18y agoBut what if you want to get a low-paying entry-level job that will require you to live in India? Then you need high test scores! (That's what I got out of the article, anyway.)
- teuobk 18y agoDid you take the GRE? Actually, I'm curious if GRE scores have the same impact as SAT scores at the firms that care about standardized test scores. Or the ACT, for that matter.
- dinkumthinkum 18y agoI took the general GRE; I didn't take the CS GRE, in fact, I was told not to by my advisor. The general GRE is usually a graduate school requirement rather than a department requirement.
