Anyone used the GRE Search Service?

[Catria]

After past readings about the GRE Search Service (might be a little dated), I always heard about how nonsensical the suggestions were: Tufts in plant biology, Berkeley MIDS, and so on, so forth.

 

But I am one of the lucky few for whom the Service has had any use. Notre Dame apparently had some interest in me; at least it was sincere this time around after I looked for POIs there.

 

Anyone else for whom the GRE Search Service has been of any use?

Not me. I used the service and received nothing but messages from for-profit universities in fields outside my interests.

Do you think the users' credentials are a factor in what the users get out of it? (e.g. a 3.1 student with a V153/Q154 on the general GRE vs. a 3.7 student with a V162/Q167 on the general GRE and a 86%ile on a subject test)
