Why do schools want the GRE?

It’s pointless for a lot of grad programs, and the most annoying test to study for. I know it’s about the preparation, but honestly I couldn’t care less about high school geometry and words that are rarely used. They just need to do away with it all together imo.

Everything surrounding education is about the money. Everybody at every level is taking their pound of flesh - death by 1000 cuts.
It’s a business. Whatever hoops and bullshite they’re making you jump though is 95% about justifying their existence and keeping the gravy train rolling.

If you are complaining about the cost of becoming and remaining an attorney you are doing it wrong.

OK, if you tell me you are a water walker like a PD, or run/work for a pro bono clinic this doesn't apply but if not I am willing to bet everything surrounding your practice is about the money.

Grad school waived the GRE requirement for me given years of relevant work experience.
I am grateful for that because frick taking that test.

I did fairly well on the GRE, especially the math section.

I wanted to do MBA but didn’t think I was going to go so I settled for Econ which didn’t require a score and past test date. MBA would probably have been easier.
