I attended the virtual meeting with TIE last night and found it very informative. I wanted to let everyone know that an HGSE admissions said that the GRE is only part of a holistic admissions review and, confirming what someone said earlier, the AWA is the most important component. When I mentioned that the GRE was my biggest worry, they told me they encourage everyone to apply regardless of scores. My overall impression is that they want to form cohorts with lots of diversity not only in race, gender, and ethnicity, but also in experience, age, etc. This diversity ideally promotes collaboration among people who share different backgrounds, something that I am seeking in a grad program.
