Nico Corr Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I spoke to admissions staff in two IR grad schools this week about possibly holding off applying in order to improve weak Quantitative GRE scores, both of which indicated that they recently decided to make GRE scores optional, and didn't think that was necessary. One of these schools is a top 10 program. Will this set a precedent for others? Is this a good or bad development? I certainly think it will help ease the already considerable financial burden Grad students must surmount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
