Hello,
Just some brief background, I have always been awful at standardized testing. I don't think I've ever done above average on any of them. Yet, I've always been a pretty good student. I have a very strong undergrad and grad GPA. I did not have to take the GRE because I did my grad degree in Canada.
Now, I would really like to apply for American Ph.D. programs but I am dreading having to take the GRE. I have not done well on any practice tests. I am looking at programs in the 50-100 range. I've heard that the GRE does not really matter, yet, they all require you to take it. I'd love to hear some more opinions on how much the exam really matters. I am confident in the rest of my application but I am afraid an awful GRE score could disqualify me. Opinions?
