Has anyone accepted an offer from Old Dominion University (ODU)/The Virginia Consortium Program? If you have received an offer, do you have to let the program know by April 15th? I am on the waitlist and am really hoping I can get an acceptance as it's my top choice! Just want to know when I can expect to hear back regarding acceptance/rejection because waiting has been very difficult.

I have only seen that UCLA has made the GRE subject optional and GRE general test waived for the 2021 application season. University of Colorado Boulder made the GRE optional for students who have not been able to take the test because of COVID-19. I don't see how it's fair to waive the GRE for some applicants and not others. I guess we will see how other schools react to COVID-19. A lot of sites haven't been updated since the last application season yet.

I am not in this field. However, if the average is 164Q than that means they have accepted people under 164, and your score is still pretty close to the average! I personally wouldn't worry about it.

I took the GRE twice before applying to Masters programs in clinical psychology, and my highest scores were 150V 154Q and 5.0W (first time taking it was 150V 150Q and 3.5W). I was accepted into a masters program and I plan on applying to PhD programs next application season after obtaining my masters degree. I know my scores are relatively low for the PhD programs I plan on applying. However, I am wondering if it would be worth it to take the GRE for a third time, or if the GRE won't matter as much applying to a clinical psychology phd program when I will have a masters in clinical psychology. My current graduate GPA is a 4.0, I have lots of research experience and will obtain clinical experience soon, and I have presented numerous posters at conferences. If the GRE is supposed to predict how well people do in graduate school and I already have my GPA to prove that I did well despite my scores, is my GPA and experience enough to combat the low GRE scores? Thank you to whoever responds! I can't find anything about this anywhere. If you suggest taking the GRE again, can you provide helpful resources that will actually boost scores? I couldn't get my Verbal score higher.
