HDS MTS no longer requires GRE. Thoughts?

How do you imagine this will reflect on the admissions process? Also, considering that "applicants may submit GRE scores if they feel it would be a beneficial component to their application," in which circumstances do you reckon it would still be worth to study for GRE? Conversely, when would it be alright not to? 

Thanks!

I think the GREs are most important for folks with low GPAs (to alleviate doubts about academic potential) and who convey commitment to using the MTS as a stepping stone to the Ph.D (to convey promise for future doctoral admissions). I speculate social justice/NGO/lay ministry types are evaluated more on what they have done and what they can contribute to the incoming class than numbers.

And in which circumstances do you guys reckon GRE would be superfluous? That is, apart from the cases when one is certainly not planning to stay in academia. Does having a good GPA from a good undergrad means that GRE is no longer needed?
