My opinion article, written with Jen Glass, Kim Cobb, Minda Monteagudo (all at Georgia Tech), and Alejandro Flores (at Boise State) was published about a month ago in EoS, the American Geophysical Union magazine. In it, we argue that the geosciences need to drop the GRE from graduate school admission criteria, since research clearly shows it does not predict success in grad school. Instead, it is just a barrier to graduate school access. We also include some tips, since all three of our institutions have successfully dropped the GRE. Article is available here:

You can see that list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZUZowZJ25DtqCgr3kK_Ief1C0YOnrZeADcm4K81bq08/edit?usp=sharing |
