Stanford drops GRE requirement and individual schools can choose whether or not to require a GRE...good luck with that.https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2018/04/16/stanford-adjusts-gre-requirement …

Not entirely a bad idea. GRE focuses too much on knowing obscure words. Even GMAT is a better test of logical reasoning. Overall, they might have concluded that other parts of the application (grades, recommendations) might be better predictors.

I’m not an expert on testing but just a quick search turned up GRE as best predictor of grades in engineering https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1193&context=cehsdiss …

Thanks for sharing this. Will go through it. I always thought GRE was too weak in quant testing (too easy to get 800) when compared to actual engineering curriculum. But this study suggests otherwise.

While the article you shared does predict strong correlation, I found a few that are less sanguine. Below is one example (https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2342&context=facpub …). I think for Stanford, due to it being super selective, GRE quant scores might not provide enough stratification to be useful.pic.twitter.com/TuuGMzMBtx

Not really a good argument against testing. Testing so good that there's too little variation left to see the pattern in the admitted people.
