Master the GREs for UX Schools

Why GREs Our IDIA program requires the GREs. When people ask me about the admission requirements, they either sigh at the mention of the test or try to negotiate not taking them. As a program director, I find them valuable for reasons that were not necessarily intended by the test makers.

First, I understand no one wants to take an extra test in their life. Plenty of controversy has surrounded the test since 1993. I did not want to take them way back in November of 1996 and again in summer of 2007 when I applied to my master’s program and PhD program, respectively. They can be stressful because someone is testing you on at least one topic you don’t feel you are good at.

For PhD students looking for a job: get on a hiring committee at your school to see all the things you should and shouldn’t do.
