A case for abandoning the GRE in the geosciences
#GeoGRExit: Why Geosciences Programs Are Dropping the GRE
Geoscience graduate programs are increasingly abandoning the controversial test as an admissions requirement, a welcome development for equity and inclusion in the field. How can your school be next?
Typical physics Ph.D. admissions criteria limit access to underrepresented groups but fail to predict doctoral completion
Researchers are urging universities across the United States to find a new way to identify the next generation of scientists. A new study discovered that traditional admissions metrics for physics Ph.D. programs such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) do not predict completion and hurt the growth of diversity in physics, which is already the… Read more »
