[Will you take the GRE for Fall 2021?]

I decided to not take the GRE because I am applying to a master's program in applied math. I don't see the point of taking a high school level math exam + a spelling bee wanna be to justify that I am qualified for grad level math courses. Any program that think I should be wasting my time memorizing vocabularies is not a program I want to goto.

I think that we (in thegradcafe community) are just taking a break at the moment because the uptick caused a lot of fear, stress, and uncertainty. Also, I definitely agree. I've spoken with multiple professors on my campus and they all said that this is similar to what happened in the Great Recession - a lot of people without the required experience are applying right now because of job uncertainty. Applying last minute to a grad program your senior year of undergrad (when you never worked in a lab) or years in a job that doesnt give you the skills or experience necessary isn't going to be successful. I assume that those applicants also dont even know that thegradcafe exists

I turned down a well paying job offer(in software engineering) from my internship and applied for grad, is that weird or stupid, or both?
