Pitiful, the US considers GRE as a measure of competitiveness. I wait to see the day US chemistry glory downhill. Making admission offers to the likes of you who are into organic chemistry, but barely knowing what CBS reagent is. I think Corey himself will feel hopeless that his most powerful reducing reagent, one that can distinguish between two aromatic rings on the two sides of a ketone based on electronic property, is known by barely anyone, and yet top schools gave the likes of you offers.

Out of curiosity. For those applying for organic chemistry PhD: does anyone of you know what a CBS reagent is and what it's used for? Help the poor soul.
