Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Chemistry GRE

[chmlvr]

On the application website, CMU says that my application will be reviewed without the chemistry subject GRE scores. After submitted the application, it says that it won't be reviewed unless I submit the scores. Furthermore, the website says that not submitted the chemistry gre will put me at a competitive disadvantage. So now I have two questions:

1) Has anyone else encountered this problem/discrepancy? My chem gre is fairly low and would rather not submit it if I don't have to, but since they review the application on a rolling basis, I want to make sure they look at me earlier rather than later!

2) Would CMU care about chem gre if I have good research experience?

Thanks!
