- ojbyrne 13y agoI'm curious about your GRE comment - I took the GRE in 2007, and did well, and thus would like to include it in my application, but ETS says GRE scores are only valid for 5 years.
- smoyer 13y agoBut other than Coursera and employee development, those GREs are the last academic record I have. You would think my transcripts from '85 would be even less relevant with that line of reasoning, but that might be exactly what keeps me from enrolling.
- ojbyrne 13y agoFWIW, You can retake it relatively quickly.
- smoyer 13y agoIf I knew this course was imminent, I might have but the Computer Science subject test was discontinued (see the note here: https://www.ets.org/gre/subject/about?WT.ac=grehome_gresubject_130807 https://www.ets.org/gre/subject/about?WT.ac=grehome_gresubje...)
- thaumasiotes 13y agoI don't see a note on that page. What did it say?
- zeckalpha 13y agoThe GRE, yes. The CS GRE subject test, no.
- jeffreyg 13y agoI'm surprised they recognize GRE scores from that long ago. Anyways, good luck and if you don't get accepted try taking a couple of graduate-level courses somewhere else, or maybe there as a non-degree student if they allow it. Doing well would show your current academic capability, which is probably more meaningful to admissions.
