So my post on the results search got deleted. lol Wanted to get some thoughts about the posters who recently applied to Stanford with bad GRE scores (157Q and 150V for example), and posted saying it's ridiculous that Stanford looks so heavily at GRE scores when they have so much experience and blah blah blah. Am I crazy or does it make complete sense to me to use the GRE to weed trough the hundreds to thousands of applicants? The person I am referring to said it's a test with a bunch of tricky math problems and traps and not a good indicator. To me, if it's that simple, then why can't you get above a 157? Also, I would think that someone wanting to go to Stanford can score higher than a 150 on the verbal with no practice. I'm an engineer and I scored a 161 with literally zero prep. A 150 shows an average (at best) level of reading comprehension and Stanford is an elite school. Why should they let everyone with average GRE scores and experience in? They'd have to accept nearly everyone. Just a pathetic gripe by that poster imo.
