columbia09 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I was talking with someone I work with who stated his brother paid someone 1,000$ to take the GRE for him. Is that even possible ? I would be scared because the risks of getting caught would be too great. Has anyone ever heard about this before ?

Neist Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I don't even see how that would be possible. They were pretty thorough checking my identity when I took mine. I was shocked how thorough they were, even. Maybe if you had a close-aged sibling who looked similar, or a twin, but as @ExponentialDecay commented, it's not worth the effort. Would his brother take his graduate courses for him too? Write his dissertation? Where would it stop?

What's horrible is that the kid is in Vanderbilt now It'd have to be a expensive fake, at least at my testing center. They expelled more effort looking at my ID than they do at an airport. Did this person mention what field it was in? The scores might not matter as much, depending on the field.

No I think though chemistry, if it's true then wow I can't believe he got away with it
