Programs waiving GRE requirement for 2021?

[socspice]

Have you heard of any programs that are making GRE scores optional rather than required for the 2021 admission cycle? (due to Covid) I know of Iowa, but are there others?

[socspice]

UT-Austin and Michigan are also on this list. Any others?

Cornell has made it optional

Cornell has made it optional n Johns Hopkins has waived it

UC Santa Cruz have waived it, Minnesota Twin Cities have waived it.

USC have said: "Students who are unable to take the GRE in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic will be given full consideration and may be admitted without taking the exam."

Rutgers is not requiring GRE scores: 

"GRE scores - DUE TO COVID-19, GRE SCORES ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR FALL 2021 ADMISSION"

Many of them, honestly. It might be easier to make a list of the schools that aren't doing this.

Thanks, everyone!

I live in Missouri and found out that The University of Missouri is no longer going to have a PhD program in Sociology. Probably not on the radar for many on this forum but concerning.

Wow. Do they have current students? I can't imagine how awful it is to be in a program and have them collapse. I hope they're getting support until they defend.

I am sure they do. I don't know the details of why they are closing the program. I'm not in the program. Thanks
