This may not be the best forum to ask this as I'm considering applying to clinical/counseling PhD/PsyD programs for Fall 2022 enrollment, but I'm very curious to hear thoughts on whether ya'll think the GRE will be back as a requirement for applications due December 2021? I haven't taken it yet and honestly it's my biggest application barrier, I would like to avoid it if at all possible. Did anyone come across programs that they know don't require it/will be keeping it optional and not required? I have been checking out program websites but understandably none have updated their information and still refer to 2021 enrollment. Good luck to all you waiting to hear back and thanks in advance for your thoughts.
