Will pay cash for respectable GRE score...
Seriously though, I have a numeracy disorder going on (self diagnosed). I can't answer a single math question in under 30 seconds :-(
How do people feel about the GRE as a predictor of ability to succeed in graduate study? Especially when it may be used to moderate graduate grades from different institutions? Maybe ones faith in such things is directly related to ones success in the test.
I know that philosophers (as a general rule) consider such tests to be just so much bollocks; but admissions offices have an alternative point of view and unfortunately they allocate funding.
Fortunately there are good institutions who do not require GRE scores. I have tried searching for this but had to check each uni's admissions requirements individually.
Can anyone suggest any uni's they know of that do not require GRE's??? I have a couple, but would like to add to the list...
Cheers
